2pac
Fans cry for another 2pac, the media cries not/
Pac ran a revolution with courage flowing, non-stop/
That caused blisters to hug his feet, the media told him to wear a sock/
Every step that expressed his pain was too broad to be stopped/
Apocalypse, they caused in his life unlocked his apocalyptic persona until he dropped/
And everyone wonders who shot 2pac/
When the media spat out the East Vs. West as if their food's hot that caused more than
2 dots to aim at his being they apparently got sick of and sadly gave him something more deadly than a flu shot/
And left his lifeless body hang like dreadlocks/
The affiliation of East Vs. West didn't kill Pac/
Their greed of wealth grew strong enough to make him rot/
But before he flocked, he left a message for every block/
Said he'll spark the mind for change, but the media refuse the shock/
So will their ever be another 2pac? I doubt it will/
The fact that he's gone is just as melancholic as the passing of Uncle Phil/

Great choice of background music. Gives it a very somber tone of reverence. Thank you for sharing!

Very nice. I am hoping this poem has not received a lot of comments because it is a 2Pac piece. Because it is a decent memorial. I loved the line, "The fact that he's gone is just as melancholic as the passing of Uncle Phil/" The only criticism I have is from the video itself. At times the words are hard to hear. And they come at the listener so quickly it is hard to get a feel for what has already been said. I do understand that that is the way the poet wished to convey this piece, but giving the words a little slower spill and better enunciation could help the listener a great deal.
