A Stranger Died Today

A few days back, a stranger died.
I never met him. I didn’t know him.
He was beloved by many,
And each paid tribute to his life.

Today, another stranger died.
I never met her. I didn’t know her.
She was beloved by many,
And each paid tribute to her life.

One lived in the spotlight.
The other in the shadows.

Both talented in their own way.

One will be remembered by millions.
Both strangers outside of a chosen few.
