He Died, I Laughed

As the wave
Hit my eardrums
Made near deaf
By vile songs
Of roving minstrels
Carrying bags of tricks,
Consciences of guilt,
I chuckled
And refused to enter
Chamber of sorrow,
I laughed
And made merry.
Image of law man,
Justice crusader in transition
Gliding heavenwards
Waving to us all
With sign of victory
Filled my imagination.
He died,
I laughed.
Now enrolled
Into college of immortality,
His stainless gown
Will forever remain
Without stains.

Truly a nice piece. Gani will always be remembered on the good side of history.
