Caution: Mentions suicide. Please take care

Bubba Copeland was mayor in Alabama town
A pastor, who wore many a crown
But two days after conservative news site
Released his photos of cross-dressing in sight
The mayor found peace in death and not strife
Knowing the pain of his life could be laid to rest in a night
Bubba Copeland should still be here with us today

I shudder imagining his despair. Reports indicate that his wife and three young children loved and supported him. Reports also indicate that Bubba was a kind, gentle man who never hurt anyone and hadn’t broken any laws.
