Fateful Oath, Deadly Consequences
On borrowed time, he dared to tread
When vows he took must not be shred
Fast cars and the high life, his prize
‘The Life of The Party,’ in gleaming skies
His aging parents, distant and tame
Fame’s glimmer had no bearing on their game
Orgies hosted in his mansion’s hall
As he cast shadows that made destinies fall
Unscrupulous agents, loyal and sly
Covering his excesses, never asking why
Innocent lives, their hopes undone
Sacrificed for the whims of a wayward son
A visit one cold, fateful night
In chilling words, they extinguished his light
Pleads for ‘more time’ met a stern rebuff
Days later, the truth, cold and tough
Cause of demise, in whispers enclosed
‘Drug overdose,’ as his chapter closed.
