I am writing to inform you that
we have been watching
and it's high time we apologized
for believing the lies
the grievous slander, the malice
that reduced you to a shell
of your former self
People feed on rumor and conjecture
willingly poisoning themselves
without any concern to what horror
the victim is going through
It took us eighty years
but the truth of your innocence
has finally taken precedence
as it always should have
In closing, Mr Arbuckle,
you are a genius, a brilliant man
and comedy holds you in its debt
for so many reasons
Please, take the time to learn the truth about Roscoe Arbuckle.

This is really a beautiful poem. I'm sure during his life this was all he wanted to hear. Thank you for taking the time to honor him!
Thank you Elizabeth! I don't know too much about Roscoe yet, but the way he was treated broke my heart. If I can help in some little way to brighten his tarnished memory, then I've done some good. Glad you liked it! ^_^
This is lovely x
