Obit For a Lion

A great man is dead How do you measure that? How do you say That certain of bread Condoned not that he ate and just walked away? When a man assumes Certain responsibility, how do make his task Unique? What fine brooms Do you use to tell if his face is but a mask? A great one his dead Honor him, honor him well. O but too late If you honor the dead. Did his work merit the passion of the state? Then our one tribute Is to make a man's work eternal; all his dreams Give means to salute The people passing in their mourning streams.
