Fitzgerald - A Biography

Fitzgerald- a Biography. Poetry to rhythm more commonly known as “rap”

Part of the lost generation

Of an American nation

Of revolution

Of great incoherent constitution

A time of boom or bust

A time of excessive lust

Through this he must

Lustre the ability

To influence economic nobility

This is life for him no holy trinity

This side of Paradise

The Beautiful are damned

First two novels, no direction, no plan

Writing through the Jazz age

Fitzgerald Literary mage

Conjured up a devious plan

Creating a novel with critics all fans

He wrote Gatsby perceived to be great

But mate the public response was no good

He had to write

Spells of Tuberculosis

Although no confirmed prognosis

But the problem is

Some claimed that this was just to hide his

Inner Problem, his inconceivable truth

His addiction

Fitzgerald wrote about excess

But could not possess

The capability to

Live through the sensible life you’re meant to

But instead got depressed with an inability to accept

His torn relationship, between the drink and page

Influencing his earnings including his wage

A schizophrenic wife unable to cope

Leaving Fitzgerald with little hope

Dying in no knowledge of his success
