    William Nolan

    William Nolan


    Cuddled into JofusBear, Billy silently smiles and quietly dies.
    His mother cries and sighs and then tries to say goodbye,
    But Billy's eyes prise open - Showing life left in the little guy!
    Holding Mummy's hand whispering "I will love you everyday,"
    Then suddenly his grips fades, and Billy finally passes away.




    NEWS REPORTER: May 4Th, 2006
    "...Sir, William Nolan has touched the lives of the nation, and with tears in my eyes,
    I can still see the pride in his face, an amazing case of patience, despite operations,
    Any occasions he would fight the pain and break through cages of dangers again,
    He was plain, and ordinary, the same but poorly, he was more than just a story,
    He was more brave and extraordinary than any name I can recall, he's an angel,
    And I cannot call him anymore that that, I am sure that he was sent from Heaven,
    And I am sure, still pure, we sent him back. We can't applaud, and we can't clap,
    We should pause and think that this little boy as a symbol of love and of freedom,
    I believe in God, I'm here so we can hear him, everywhere we look, we'll see him,
    We'll even read to him as we all did, grieve for this kid, this star, this credit of life,
    Because he taught us to appreciate and respect, and never forget what's right..."



    JAYNE NOLAN - (Billy's Mother.)
    "...A happy charity worker, 11 years old, worth his weight in gold,
    Desperate to keep hold. He was told life was minute-less at birth,
    Yet, still lived limitless. Cursed by an illness he shared with millions,
    He served and he filled his life with happiness, gladness, sadness,
    Moments of madness, every question in life he had answered it.
    He just couldnt keep hold of it, now this is more than just a eulogy,
    Bold as poetry as I speak, told as true as you and me can ever be,
    Though death was his early destiny, he's there and he's meant to be,
    He is endless, be his friend's, lets remember him as tender, trusting,
    Just forget his tumour, remember his humour which was stunning,
    Think how he illuminated a room with loving care, so gentle, so rare,
    Picture him running barefoot as he should of, he would of been cutoff,
    But he put off death as long as he could of, he shut off when painful,
    Pushed off life, caught by angels. Unable to fly, he's now capable,
    And he is able and he is stable and he is watching down on us all,
    And he know's that we are all on the ground to catch him if he falls..."


    As he stand's all alone at Heaven's gates, Billy is in awe,
    He see's the smiling face of God, asks what he's here for?
    God extend's a hand, grab's Billy, says "well let's just see?
    Come and watch the world go by and sit right next to me."





    WILLIAM JOSEPH NOLAN
    RIP
    (Jan 15th, 1996 - May 4th, 2006)

    Is this someone you know personally, or someone my undereducated ass should have heard of in the news or something? Either way, whoever this kid is he sounds like an inspirational character, I envy people with strength like that, I myself know, deep down, that placed in their position I would take the cowards way out...Anyway, a very nice piece, I got a bit muddled in places but thats maybe because I read too fast lol. I liked the idea of showing his passing from two opposing points of veiw. The reporter, who probably see's Billy as no more than a storyline, no more than a fatal statistic, a poor child whose strength should be inspirational to a nation of readers; And the mother, who is struck by Billy's death the hardest, who knew him the most. I don't think there can be any greater pain than that of a mother losing a child, taken that I've never went through it myself, but I can imagine her feeling so helpless.. The first little introduction bit I wasn't feeling much, I thought it was a little monotomous but it would have been foolish to plunge straight into the news reporters section without revealing a little of Billy himself, the last part in italics was deep, i really liked that. I'm not a big religious person but I can empathise with people believing God is taking care of their loved ones, it must be comforting.. A nice piece Issue, keep looking out for me.

    Stunning, man, plain stunning. You never fail to deliver Issue. The topic was brilliant and well executed with strong, but not over the top, vocab. Imagery which was the best i've read in weeks and a solid rhymne scheme to keep the whole thing on track. The length was just right as well, and each segment fitted perfectly with the previous.

    Steller work man. Consider this nominated.

    Def poets, mu'fukka.
