He walked as a tower yes he did
Between spaces in words
never got wet in the rain
touched the clouds and kicked the stones

RIP Arthur John Boyd
You were more than a man but less than a worm

He delivered the fire from the mountain
No more than thirty thousand years late
he cured diseases they no longer rate
he could spit to the moon but left far to soon

RIP Arthur John Boyd
A saint by any other name than one

What does it take
for a man just born from his time
like you were to take your place in history
perhaps like ozymandious
'look upon my works ye mighty and tremble'

RIP Arthur John Boyd
You will be forgotten

So won't you sing me a rainbow Josie roll me a song
Just tonight make it right 'cause it's been wrong for oh so long
