Sunset At Qunu

Sunset at Qunu A Day no more deferred A Day an Icon is interred; The Sun sets at Noon The Sun sets at Qunu. This is a tall Tower Crumpled like a flower; The Sun sets at Noon The Sun sets at Qunu. Cape has a richer dune A Diamond is buried at Qunu; The Sun sets at Noon The Sun set at Qunu. Apartheid’s evil visitation In masked manifestation, Watches the bleary Noon As the Sun sets at Qunu. Soil on the promontory Loathes effrontery While Icon we dispose To Ancestors to repose The Sun sets at Qunu The Sun sets at Noon. His Life- brave and bold..... Fast Mandela grew old Hope they inter him deep To relish undeterred sleep The Sun sets at Qunu The Sun sets at Noon. Qunu, where he rose Peacefully he reposes- The Sun set at Noon The Sun has set at Qunu. JM 22nd Dec’ 2013
