The Golden Square Mile |
Prominent local aristocrats |
Painted red throughout history |
A fortune born out of sugar |
Led the family to the social summit |
The daughter of Montreal’s fourth mayor |
Laid silently at rest in her bed |
As her son of twenty four years |
Studied mercilessly in the adjacent room |
As night settled darkness fell upon the Square Mile Mansion |
Delirious thanks to her pain medication |
Ada Maria Mill Repath |
Unlocked the top drawer of her nightstand |
And removed from it a fevered solution |
But her flimsy faint grip allowed it to fall |
Clattering to the floor |
Once Clifford’s focus was interrupted |
He headed out in search of the racket |
But when he entered his Mother’s room |
It was already splattered with her blood brains and bones |
The aspiring med student resolved to seal his own fortune as well |
The pressures of life had completely crippled him |
Three days later they were already both six feet below |
Rotting slowly as the populous' interest |
Took flight as the rumours grew so did the mystery of it all |
Sadly Sherbrooke Street was never quite the same |
The Golden Square Mile was forever tainted |
The gloom that engulfed their mansion |
Still remains present today |
