Passing
Each time an artist dies, the world's despair
Displays itself; the media resound
With cries that what is lost cannot be found
Again; the talent is too rare.
Each devatated fan speaks up to share
Their pain. The lamentations now abound.
In misery's morass no hope is found.
Unless... you choose to take death as a dare.
Each generation raises a new crop
Of artists, and the message is the same:
The passing of the torch ain't gonna stop!
(If nature hates a vacuum, so does fame.)
So hone your skills and scramble to the top
Then step into the breach - and up your game!
