Who Does the Tribute?

He dies

Who does the tribute?

Turns out the lighter side jumps at it first

The side that most didn't claim him until one of his biggest hits

Until he was "cool"

His darker side stays in the shadows 

The side that most claimed and supported the genius from day one

From that first piece of art released into the universe

They saw he was prolific, multitalented

A star 

Where are they?

Why can't they get their shit together?

Enough to pay a tribute

To the one they loved

What is with this constant problem

Of a community that was once to connected and together

Tearing themselves apart and keeping distance?

They can't bring it together enough

To even try

Who does the tribute?

They side that wants to claim him now

Or the side who claimed him first?

Who does the tribute?
