About this poem:

I wrote this decades ago for an old acquaintance of mine, Louie, who often stopped by to listen to our practice jams and sometimes run our light show. Quite the socialite conversationalist he was, and handsome lady's man ("competition", at the time ...lol ; ) despite our different views about using drugs - I'm not judgemental of others choice to indulge, though I prefer to restrain from their abuse. But even then I knew that he spent far too much time frontin' instead of gruntin', never quite getting his priorities straight (ie, "Business before Pleasure", etc.) He never really grasped that this song was about him, despite my pep talks with him. Ironically, years later, I found out that he had overdosed on recreational drugs. Any more I am more vocal about cautioning those who will listen about the dangers they seem oblivious to (Read also "The 'Pillar" for inspiring that particular sect of individuals). Well, I hope posting this wasn't a Waste of Time.
