EVER GREEN
The naturally great hardly live long
Fortunately sad some do not here belong
To this eminent group of Great Men
Who sometimes never sowed a semen
The Nazarene came to save us
With wisdom that cuts like scissors
The evil world went wide with terror
Paraded him before a mortal Emperor
Maybe Martin was never even a savior
He had a dream sweet and now superior
Shakur BIG may not be your heroes
Yet you may never blot out their echoes
Fela sings our woes with weeds and women
State nailed him on the cross of clergyman
Today his prophecies speak loud like scars
On consciences of Generals now without
Stars
Dominated by the ravishing rays of Mandela
You may take the therapy of Mother Theresa
Like Hendrix, Marley and Lucky dreads done
in
Though Their acts and songs are still
breathing
This could be a lengthy list of great Losses
Of stars gone and legends soon to be in
boxes
