- Today is indeed the 3rd dawn
- Your flames are now gone
- And nothing can be done
- Many things you have forgone
- As u have left us all alone.
- You have fallen asleep
- And we have tried to plead
- So that you’ll be freed
- But you’ve gone too deep
- And that’s why we weep
- But soon you’ll be redeemed.
- As I wrote this script
- I stopped and wept
- For I felt this contempt
- That every earthly man shall corrupt
- And it is a fact we should accept
- For only the heavens are incorrupt.
- Your presence keeps fading
- But your memories are always lasting
- Even the heavens ignored our groaning
- Holding back until the day of reckoning
- But we kept on supplicating and beseeching
- Hoping there will be a day of answering.
- The heavens can attest
- That the earth has been unjust.
- Though our tears have been sorest
- We still have to adapt and adjust
- Then pray we do not combust
- As we all are mere dust.
- You left behind a mantle
- Which we will wear as a model.
- We pray we do not shrivel
- We pray we do not rebel
- As we hope to enter the real Bethel.
- We know our tears will soon dispel
- When we meet u again with ‘El. *
- For you are Gone to Return
- And we love you in turn.
By Tsatsu Dzidzinyo Tay Young.
*El used here is a Hebrew rendition for GOD
