An Artificial Fortress
As the walls came down, with history revealed,
what was this writer's groundbreaking achievement,
creating synthetic art?
His tortured relationship with sobriety,
loaded guns in strategic locations,
ready to provide a quick resolution?
A wide range of compounds,
transforming the pain,
as he lay tenaciously dying?
