Last Day. - 6 Brandon Lee

LAST DAY
BRANDON LEE

HE REMEMBERS TODAY,

WHEN HIS FATHER ALIVE,

WRESTLING, FIGURE IN WHITE

WAS CONTENDING ALL NIGHT

WITH THE GHOSTS OF THE DRAGONS

AND THE SERPENTS. THE KNIVES

STAINLESS STEEL, GLEAMING COLD,

AND HIS EYES SPARKLING GOLD.

FIRM, THE BODY INTENSE,

WAITS IN HIDING, THE FORCE

THAT WILL GIVE HIM THE PRIZE.

AND IS BRANDON SO PROUD

OF THE HERITAGE BOND,

WHEN THE 'ACTION' IS CRIED,

HE STEPS FORWARD SO BOLD.

AND THE 'BANG!' OF THE PISTOL

STILL RINGING HIS BRAIN,

HE STUMBLES ASTONISHED,

ASTOUNDED IN PAIN.

HE KNEW IN THAT MOMENT

WHERE HIS FATHER WOULD BE

WAITING EAGER HIS COMING.

WITH A SMILE, HE RELIEVES

ALL THE WANTON OF LIFE,

AND WHILE CLOSING HIS EYES,

HE EXPIRES...NO GRIEF.
