Diagnosis was discriminate,

Taunting me ill,

Before my time here passes,

Here is my worldly will.

To the great explorers of yesteryear,

I leave my weary shoes,

Scuffed and untied,

They can circumnavigate you through the blues.

To the great pillars of society,

I leave my collection of books,

Wisdom comes to those who seek,

Never just rely on your looks.

To each family on this earth,

I leave the art of conversation,

Treasure your time together,

Before death’s retaliation.

To those who our racially repressed,

I offer the rainbow of hope,

Where Respect of colour,

Binds us humans like rope.

To those who seek answers,

And our eager to fight,

I offer you love,

To be true to what’s right.
