Drum & Bass
In Appreciation of Elder Eugene Skeef
to this big brother
who makes with words, hugs from mother
this giant and elder
bonds together, love and meaning like a welder
/
with thoughts clear, deep and wide
he ferries you like Charon to the other side
of your understanding
into the purity of overstanding
/
from propaganda in a puddle
that your mind would muddle
to light, searing and bright
so much so, it might even give you a fright
/
he gifts you new eyes
to see truth from the lies
with words that break the bonds that tie
you to the limits of what money can buy
/
and make you wonder and sigh
free your heart, make it fly
bring you to your knees
look more closely at the bees
/
with his words improve your sight
leading you closer to your light
to ponder and improve the human plight
this being, manifest in light
Drum & Bass is an altogether too brief homage to Elder Eugene Skeef; light manifest in human form.
