The Star That Fell

---

Shining like a diamond bright
In a raven coloured sky
Awe showing on their faces
that makes the miicks try.
But why?
For vain admiration craved
pathways going different ways
One to God it says THE way
The other states immorality.

With stardom blocking out the view
He parted from the chosen few
For goodness sake look where you're going
The way is clear, the sign is showing!

Now you people out there listen
Don't make the same mistakes
I hope that one day you will be
Changed by God's Saving Grace.

Lament to Freddie Mercury by Sharon Elton (Sharon Elton's poems have appeared in The Bentilean since the second issue of the full mag. She is a practising Christian (of an evangelical bent, if not sect), a fan of the rock group "Extreme", and an amateur publisher.)
