The last dramatic sentence
The last dramatic sentence we heard from him was: “Silence! Total Silence!”
And all the trees and creeks
around understood:
this meant the end.
This Caribbean Soul
had bade us “Farewell!”
A man who unselfishly
had wrought
a kind of Caribbean Brotherhood
with music, theatre, poetry, dance
from an emerging state,
a state more than independance.
And it is this striving
we deeply appreciate.
A man showing up
our face of Brotherhood
everywhere.
Is this not a pillar
supporting us?
Therefore it is this
we bear in mind.
This treasure
this link he made
with our friends here and abroad.
A link a perpetual livelihood.
