When I Died

When i died, Give my corpse to vultures For in their bosoms I shall find peace I shall be free from man's Massacres of nature When i died, Let no drums echoes Refrain pattering feet from my spirit For in silent was i introduced Into this noisy cosmos Refrained mourners From weeping Because the rains are here When its rains my spirit will ruin When i died, Tell mother, I was murder By hunger Let food litter my grave daily Lest i died again When i died, Bequeath my pen to apes But for them, Bequeath my machete Let them died in their greed
