Guru Mordecai Poet Sonnet

The Last Goodbye

FAR OVER THE MIGHTY GAUTENG'S GOLD,
THE WIND WAS BLOWING WITH A COLD,
WHERE THE NEW GENERATIONS ONLY CURSED THE OLD,
I MUST NOT DELAY ERE GLOOM GROWS BOLD.

I SAW A LIFE TEARING FROM THE SKY,
ON THE DARK I HELD A SIGH,
AS THE DIM OF IT COVERS, MY FALLING BROTHERS,
I WILL SAY THIS LAST GOODBYE.

NIGHT IS NOW FALLING, SO IS THE MORNING,
THE ROAD IS NOW CALLING,MY FRIENDS ARRANGE FOR MOURNING,
NOW COMES THIS DAY TO RUN AWAY,
WE CAME ALL THIS WAY.

BUT NOW COME THIS DAY TO BEAT YOU FAREWELL,
THOUGH IN MY HEART LOVE IS RINGING LIKE A BELL.
