To the legendary teacher I pay tribute
For imparting live voices to the mute
You paid gratitude
To the multitude
On the mountain top you stood
And all the heads understood
You never said ‘Never’

Solar winds full of both brilliance and bluster

Causing the deckhands to shiver and curse
As they check the lashing between the barges,

Troubled stomach he carries
Itching, aching and scratching
On wheel chair he goes to doctor
Weeping gnashing teeth, worried
With stomach pain, stammering lips

Taxes, bills, wages, bribes, donations
Aborted project...
