38 - Marilyn Monroe Poem by nicola burkett

The life of Norma Jeane was a tragic one
Full of sadness, pain and sexual fun
She was a blonde bombshell, a sex toy
The first to grace the cover of Heffner’s playboy
Many male admires in her unhappy life
Three times the charm she was somebody’s wife
Nobody else will ever be like Norma Jean
The most beautiful woman to grace the silver screen
From Candy Kane to Lorelei Lee
A happy smile to hide her fading sanity
This unhappy beauty and movie queen
Hooked on sleeping pills and morphine
To numb the pain of being misunderstood
Unable to save herself, nobody else could
Found lying on top of a red satin sheet
A staged suicide placed so evenly neat
Killed by a corrupt government plan
Her last dying breaths with the phone in her hand
Marilyn now immortalized when found in the nude
On celluloid her beauty her smile forever tattooed
