A memory of you
(Lines written after Aimé Césaire’s death)
Your efforts none dares doubts
On this earth were huge
Your voice none dares doubts
On this divided Family was heard
You who in your position were dissolved
Forever, forever and forever.
Life in this world is a game
Which either Man plays temporarily
And the journey to the undiscovered country
We don’t see while breathing is short.
As time elapses or yesterday departed for good
You too decided not to be again;
And like night falls in the countryside
With no light among them who live there
You too collapsed without any word saying.
Yet your words died not with you
And till all the rivers run dry
You will be remembered.
Only you know what life
Over there looks like, cause nigh Him
You lie. Rest then in peace!
