Breaking Bad (Heisenberg Poem) Poem by Eric Niehoff

Once a timid science teacher
Lost out in the private sector
Changed his life to deter
Family’s loss from death’s dark specter

Reaching out to a former student
He intended to disrupt
Contact with buyers imprudent
Soon the business would corrupt

Hair loss from the cancer
Was replaced with a goatee
New product was the answer
Because of purity

Business was not drugs or money
He built his great empire
Found out land of milk and honey
Was nothing to aspire

Lives destroyed at every turn
All in the quest for power
Then his lack of real concern
Haunted his final hour
