Tribute To Dub Poet, Michael Smith

He too could be Orpheus But on Lesbus would find no place For two in likeness excites no grace And he scorn Dionysius For the madness of his wine, since we Provoke more profound mirth than glee Where music wakes the soul And love turns all dross to gold Ye poets then remember him Michael Smith, who dubbed the hymn And was stoned by mad men And world stood silent before his pen.
