Death Poem by Hebert Logerie
Death
It's a phenomenon
It's an oxymoron
She takes us wherever she wants
Whenever she wants.
She says farewell
Haphazardly when we think all is well
And extemporaneously when the Almighty Man
In Heaven
Wants to gather His children.
Death always comes as a surprise
It's a pain that does not discriminate
Against small and big prize
Against the poodle and the isolate.
At will, she takes us by the hand
Escorts us to the Rand
To our last home, to the sepulture
Like a refuse of Mother Nature.
It's a phenomenon
It's losing oneself in nothingness
Where there is no coward, no superman
No powerful king and no dazzling princess.

La Mort
C'est un phénomène,
Elle nous emmène
Où elle veut,
Quand elle veut.
Elle fait son adieu,
Au moment le plus inopportun,
A l'heure où Dieu
Rassemble ses défunts.
La mort est toujours une surprise,
Une peine qui jamais ne méprise
Ni les pauvres, ni les riches,
Ni les lycaons dans leurs niches.
Elle nous tient par les mains,
Nous accompagne au dernier chemin,
A notre dernière demeure, au cimetière,
Comme une chose, comme une matière.
C'est un phénomène,
C'est se perdre dans le néant
Où il n'y a ni poltron, ni géant,
Où il n'y a ni grand roi, ni belle reine.

The concept of Death the Leveller! La mort rend tout egale!
in death as well in living, there is no discrimination. as the lord says 'there is a time for living and a time for dying'. they took away to great icons, but! their names will live on. a ten

This would make a good rap song. I felt the beat as I read it. Although not a Michael Jackson fan I recognise the pure genious of the man. You have honoured him. Well done
