Nail in the Coffin

This poem is about Anna Nicole Smith, how she lived her life before she died. People treating her like a martyr of society, using judging her for her looks, fame, and money hungry ways. It seemed as though she was a nuisance to society. However, I feel that inside she really didn't know who she was being so wrapped up in celebrity fame. She was very sensitive, maybe overly and she didn't know quite how to handle the world around her, thus her tragic and untimely death as a result of drugs. Kind of like Marilyn Monroe.

Let lay beneath this earth in peaceful harmony,
deceased from here, still there appears to be many many tears;
sudden cries of care revealed come to life to be,
as twists and turns far and near bare a face of greed.
Place a nail in the coffin, sealed, yet steal for gold,
rob a baby, sink the teeth eating away the shine,

Bleeding venom pours its seeds, drama yet unfolding,
As beneath this earth a goddess burns taken for all she's worth.

Appear not amongst painful of times,
nor upon a chosen love,
when the nail is in the coffin cinched tight,
blood begins to run.
Colors change from gold to red with many fingers claiming fortune,
signs of life, no roaming eyes, advantage taken without mercy,

As bleeding venom pours it's seeds, drama yet unfolding,
beneath this earth a goddess burns taken for all she's worth.

Human race non-existent to the pack of hungry wolves,
alive they hide refusing to see priceless life evolved;
Put a nail in her coffin, turn this world green,
as numbered souls paint the way to treasures trapped in graves.

For bleeding venom pours it's seeds, drama yet unfolding,
as beneath this earth a goddess burns taken for all she's worth.

Out of the woodwork the Moon Child sends his love,
demon seed and money greed, hypocrisy foreseen,
deceased in grief from gold to green with many many thieves,
as lifeless remains cease to exist well above the Devil's lair,

Where bleeding venom pours it's seeds, drama yet unfolding,
and beneath this earth a goddess burns taken for all she's worth.
