Poem
The Rebel Lives On It was a Black Sabbath night when they turned his remains into the sea ‘Lost into the darkness I fade into the light’ Friends and family wore Deep Purple gowns and mauve attire there was ‘Smoke on the water fire in the sky’ as the float burnt into ashes Moody Blues connected the revenant’s congregation at his final farewell ‘White satin’ engulfed the flames ‘never reaching the end’ Shades of Marillion left the mourners uncertain about the future ‘Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiments and pride’ His life had been like a Red Hot Chilli Pepper exultingly passionate Always ready to ‘Kill the pressure it’s raining on salty cheeks’ Fireworks exploded into a bouquet of floral infinity to the sound of Guns N’ Roses ‘Well if you don’t like it go ahead find yourself a saint’ Two more songs ushered the guest of honour into new life facing salvation or not Stairway to Heaven and Bat out of Hell offering ultimate requests beyond death At times it’s best to cover both options and leave the gods to decide at free will 27th June 2019 Poetry Anthology - Music Theme Contest Sponsor Geraldine Taylor
