MARILYN

Marilyn's blowjobs were legendary

sadness and gladness combined

little girl sold on to men of America

who helped destroy her peace of mind.

 

She knew just how to make it work

to make the strong men cry

didn't know how innocence tragically spun

can make the big girls die

how could she trust what springs from lust

before the world could say goodbye.

I quite agree with you elP on your observations. I wanted to make this quite sad, and typically the first line to indicate how to please. Often a public is more inclined to support a person after they have died as a sort of salve of conscience perhaps. Fame is often a killer in disguise. As you say, another case with murky undertones.

It is sad, Ray..sad how women like her are used. It's odd how the world makes a person's looks such an asset and then destroys them for having it.

"..how innocence tragically spun
can make the big girls die.."

that works particularly well here.

There were (still are) plenty of rumors (maybe facts) about her death that raise plenty of suspicion against people in high places. Maybe somebody should write something about that, too.

Thanks Stu. I saw a doc. about her which mentioned the contents of the first line by a recipient now probably also passed away. I wonder if heaven does requests?
