Hunter S Thompson Liked Cocaine

 
Hunter S Thompson liked cocaine
He liked it very much
He also fancied orange juice
But
Not nearly as much as cocaine

Cursed worded men who see the truth
Cry to the world in vain
They'll curse the world until they're
Blue
And then they'll curse their brain

Sometimes then
This brain
Held dear
So frighteningly clear as their's and true
Might be frightened from the pitch
As a coward from the slain

Hunter S Thompson liked his brain
But the world he could do without
So he'd do coke, weed, pills.
Whatever might kill the pain.

Then
When he was 67
He invited his son
Daughter-in-law
And grandson to his house
For the weekend
And while they were playing
In the other room
Shot himself in the face
With a shotgun.
