twenty days ago today
a young man so full of life
they said he lived a legacy
the poll bearers his young friends
they lifted him up in the air
said they had lost a hero
a hero he was on earth
and on his last journey on earth
he'd be so up up up they carried him
I believe they even said his swagga was UP
and that his passing was a loss to them
and the community
nipped in the bud
here today
and gone not tomorrow but today
the sacred torn from us
shattered
broken
we felt unheld
yet we knew still we were held
gone just like that
such a young soul
full of life
so promising
they came in hundreds and hundreds
gave him the best send off
bid him farewell
hopeful to meet him across the shore
