This is for all great sould that are no more esp. prof chinua achebe.
THE DEPARTED
I ask you to stand with me
For both the injured and the lost
I ask you to keep count with me
Of all the sicknesses and what they cost
I ask you to be silent with me
Quietly grateful for our lot
As I expect you're as thankful as me
For the health and life we've got
I ask that you wish them well with me
All those still risking their all
And I ask that you remember with me
The names of those that fall
I expect that you are proud like me
Of this great nation of ours too
So enjoying all its freedoms like me
Support those upholding them for you
I hope that you are hopeful like me
That we'll soon bring an end to death
When it shall be no more!
So you'll have to stand no more with me
And mourning families no different from yours
Til then be thankful you can stand with me
Thinking of those who now cannot
For standing here today with me
At least we show they're not forgot
