Gong of death

In remembrance of Wangari Maathai

The gong of death
Is going to silence
The life bells
And snatch my soul
Take it into deep wells
Dark and unknown...

The gong of death
Is going to silence
The life bells
And snatch my soul
Take it into deep wells
Dark and unknown

In resounding decibels
This gong shall cause
A mass celebration in demise
Recounting a life lived in torrents
A torment,
It shall cause heartbreak
Leave less a mark to walk
The talk
It shall provoke
Sorrow!
