Michele Navarra was the Corleone boss from the 1940’s to August 1958.

Dr Navarra stepped into that dead man’s shoes

It is incredible the lengths he went to

Although not admirable by any stretch of the imagination

He had much repenting while outside God’s gates waiting

Ruthless, callous and like a dog with a bone

With cruel ambition he made the boss title his own

His predecessor, Dr Nicolosi was conveniently murdered

That was the start of his truth becoming more lurid

A top doctor at a hospital, he had a promising career

But a life of crime was where his life would steer

Informing the police of any competition, any rivals

He cleared a path way for his sins

A young boy, a witness to one of his crimes

Paid the highest price, with his life

His poor father took him to Navarras hospital with shock

A decision I bet he always regretted and never forgot

You see a simple injection cut his life short

As Navarra grew infamous more and more

After over a decade of a frightening reign

A newer greedier man came up in the game

As the saying goes, what goes around comes around

I wonder if he thought that as he was shot to the ground.

    Well written, it is horrible though that someone like a doctor could be so evil. Why give up such a brilliant career for a life a crime?
