He told us what was happening to him,
but we did not believe him.
He may even have asked for help,
but we will never know that…
Surrounded by adversaries pretending to be friends,
colleagues and kin,
he fought until the bitter end…
He never gave up…
Instead, Mozart gave us his last major opera,
The Magic Flute…
And he gave us the Requium…
supposed to have been written under another’s name…
A final disgrace…
An ultimate humiliation…
He thought he had to do this for money
for his family…
His body was tossed into an open grave…
No autopsy for him
While his adversaries breathed a sigh of relief
that the truth would never be known
That he was surrounded by a Vortex of the Evil Eye
that took him down
One tiny dose of poison after another
Cleverly spaced
Administered by different people
at various times
Just enough to keep him on edge
to turn the waves of shalom from his music
into money and favor for them
they all took a kind of mark
as a result
Salieri gave him the final dose
at dinner
Then Mozart took to his bed
never to rise again.
Make sure to tell the public he was bad with money
they whispered
That way, no one will ever guess that
what really happened
was a murder most foul…
Pamina, the other Mozart...protected by his great Zauberflote...
