IconElegies

It's better to burn out than to fade away. I didn't fade away, I just burned with a cold flame that burned me. I hope I'm remembered as a poet and not a rock star. That was too much for me. Millions admired me and I wondered why. A poet's note. Kurt Cobain committed suicide.

I was named after an Indian rebel, but my war was not fought in the Andes but in the streets, which were my destiny. My death did not free my people from oppression, because the oppressed shot me. Why on earth? Most people don't even know who I was named after, and why they shoot each other. Poet's Note. Tupac Shakur was an American rapper, poet, and actor.
