Sappy (To Kurt Cobain) Poem by Aram Stefanian

Your guardian angel looked in horror at
The barrel of the gun in your mouth from above
There was still time, so he dashed for earth
But was stopped abruptly by a demon who said,
''You cannot mess with him, he belongs to me
Me and a suicidal soul are going hand in glove
It's too late to regret, you've done all you could
Don't blame yourself, the guy has made his bed
Now, get out of my way, let me finish my job
Otherwise I'll have to set fire to your wings''
''Don't frighten me, '' replied the angel,
''I won't wave goodbye to the guy, I'm his fan
Both of us have inspired him with inordinate lyrics
His music is immortal, just listen to the way he sings''
When the demon heard, ''And if you save yourself,
You will make him happy, '' he turned tail and ran
The angel gave an enigmatic smile, while the song went on,
''He'll keep you in a jar, then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes, then you'll think you're happy...''
