Rock's Last Goodbye
Instructions: Write a poetic response about the "sound of the Hollyhocks."
A bit longer than a month ago Rock had some strange powers
He was hallucinating, he could even talk to flowers
Now the doctor at the clinic said was ready to leave soon
One day his parents came to visit in the afternoon
He found out the Bitch of Belsen wanted Rock back
But there was no way he would let her do that
So he decided to attack one of the attendants
He had gained freedom but now lost it all including any possibility of independence
The nurse put rock to sleep and I went to bed
But in the middle of the night I awoke with dread
Rock had already gotten up and left the room
I ran out to look for him through the gloom
That's when I saw his body hanging from a rope
The attendant was trying to save him, was there still hope?
I looked closer at the colour of his head
It was all purple, he was definitely dead.
