AWWW, BILLY

What distortions twisted
in a young man’s mind
to bring upon great
pain and emotional turmoil?

You were all alone
when you were found

What seeds of destruction
been planted inside a soul
to bring upon great
pain and emotional turmoil?

The cops undid the rope
and laid you on the ground

What distraught thinking
barricading rationality
to bring upon great
pain and emotional turmoil?

A positive identification
came from your fingertips

What unbalanced living
eroded away any goodness
to bring upon great
pain and emotional turmoil?

I imagine all teary cries
uttered painfully from thy lips

What unanswered questions
as to the why’s, what happened
to have brought such
pain and emotional turmoil?
