I Miss You
by Mark Sherrick

Did you ever wonder
why certain types of people
Are taken away from us 
So quickly
People like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, 
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads, Kurt Cobain
Yet there are people who
Stay longer then necessary
People like Kenny G, Michael Bolton
David Hasselhoff, or that Riverdance guy.
I think its because the people who
are taken away early for whatever reason
have made their mark
on their profession
Perhaps they used up all their
influence on society in their time
and they had nowhere else to go
Those that are still here
are here because they cant quite 
get what they have to do
I for one would help them get
a clue, just for the pleasure
Of watching them die.
