Death bed.
Right up to his dying moment.
Hospital bed, fussy frightened nurses,
bitter violent relatives, security
keeping a close eye.
Just in case.
Got the nickname, he will die with, straight
after he left borstal for the last time.
First time in jail, he had already made
his reputation, even though he was still
a kid. Just a boy.
Because, reputations, if well handled, can
last a lifetime.And he wasn't lucky.
Just focused.
So, he started out at the top and finished
at the top.
Like they say, never judge a cover.
Evil when he had to be, dangerous even.
Real villains always had time for him,
respect given and received.
And now, 70 years on, dying, like we all do,
but in his case really badly.
Pencil, paper, all he ever wanted.
In truth, all he ever needed.
