INFERNO OF REBELLION

Working class London roots
Accessing fearless truth
David Bowie dynamic icon
Glam rock prince in platinum boots

Bowie’s family troubled
Haunted by demons of mental illness
Persistent strains of schizophrenia
Psychological and spiritual mutilation

The brutal specter of addiction
Lines of cocaine a potent affliction
Going to Berlin to get clean
Ultimately healed by fatherhood’s mission

Proudly naming bisexuality
His work ongoing gender explosion
Channeling writhing nonbinary energy
Iconic status spanning the ocean

Bowie claimed many personas
Ziggy Stardust his voice of fire
Amplifying collective desire
Cultivating insurgent pride

Activating the avant-guard
Integrating the energy of America
Visceral consumer of genres
Genderfluid agent of karma

Bowie an inferno of rebellion
His discography fiercely prolific
Inspirations vast and eclectic
His psychic fire pyrokinetic
