Elegiac Eulogy Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

ELEGIAC EULOGY

Death seems the reason we live
some day you have to leave

For no reason you cease to exist
explained vainly by the exploits of the crucifix

And the perpetual fight against evil
Lucifer blamed for being the devil

To explain a natural morbidity
to rationalize our mobility

To a place we do not know
to a mystical place of the gods

Disrespecting the earth, the moon, the sun and the cosmos
from which we got our consciousness

Verily, no matter how long it takes
make no mistake

Death will come to everyone
to everything it shall be done

Therefore, death deserves an elegiac eulogy
in preparation for the epilogue
