R.I.P KDC 1967-1994

 KDC

I dedicate this to you
You who changed me and helped me find my voice
Even though you had long since burned
I know you didn't do it intentionally
But you did it none the less.
I can remember what I was doing when I heard
I was 11
It was two years before I started my journey
An obsession that eventually became my hiding spot
It was before I realized you had lost your voice
And that your trust in her had become shrapnel
It now 17 years later and we all still miss you
And the 69 have still not risen from their graves
My eyes still water at the thought of you
Years after I grew to know and love you
Miles after I worked where they tried to rip your converse from your feet
And send you down the river after all those other lost souls...
