R.I.P. Sean Taylor

Ode To Sean Taylor

Sean Taylor was murdered today. He was a football player for the Washington Redskins. Sean embodied toughness and a unique quality which eludes translation.

"Sean, whazzup?

You been layin out your opponents with some heavy duty licks
like an ole school sailor up to his crafty ole tricks.

Your enemies could see it in your eyes,
the look of a devil who could no longer tell lies.

Sean Taylor, you played fierce,
no fear,
just like your good friend Antonio Pierce.

May you rest in peace,
for those who doubt,

They will never understand,
your heart,
your desire,
your ability to close in and close out."

R.I.P.
