Too Bad You Had To Go Bro, Thank You For The Inspiration Tho |
Recently,
via twitter, I learned of the death of an aspiring rapper named Fredo Santana.
He was only age 27 when,
according to some sources he experienced a seizure, a side effect of lean
. Apparently he was in the
hospital during October of 2017 for kidney and liver failure. It
is very unfortunate that he stunted his own future, as many artists have done and continue to do with drug
and alcohol abuse.
27th Heaven
Too young to go
Bbut do we ever learn tho?
From Amy Whinehouse to Jimi Hendrix and now this Fredo Santana is up
in the mix.
These dream chasers chase dreams and then they get burnt
Although this is not how it seems,
Life lessons are to be learnt
It’s no ruse,
Too much drug abuse will
reduce you in all you pursue.
From Jim Morrison to Janis Japlin and people
are out here still using and popping
Before their deaths did they ever think of
stopping?
Let us learn and to new talents on the
rise don’t become another Kurt Cobain
Through the rain and all your pain
Focus on your craft and seek out God
Hold on to them tighter than you would
any bottle or pill,
These things won’t enhance your skill
only God will
These trips you take may seem great but
they stunt us all on the rise
Let’s learn their lesson and not be the world’s
next big tragic surprise
Can you imagine had he and several
other talents held onto their art or God instead of some drug how different
these industries would be and
the great things they would contribute? I was
touched and sad that I discovered this artist through his death. It inspired me
to write this poem for him, them and us.
