Machiavelli Poem by Salvatore Ala

Gunned down outside a New York eatery
Stabbed in Brighton Beach
Beaten savagely on a street
Buried in a Vegas desert
A car bomb took the life of Machiavelli
Missing in Michigan
A sniper's bullet in Montreal
He rises from the dead
In Washington and Wall Street
Moschenniki Machiavelli
The Mexican massacres
Ghetto star Machiavelli
Machiavelli with teardrops
The scream in Munch's masterpiece
The Machiavelli's found hanged
In their multi-million dollar mansion
They put a contract on Niccolò
Nicky got whacked
He rises from the dead
In Washington and Wall Street
Machiavelli eats alone
Sleeps with big fishes
Machiavelli mezza morta
Someone popped the Prince
Clipped his wings
Sent a message
Prince of mirrors
Machiavelli on the lam
Machiavelli in the wind
