A Tribute to a dear friend who passed on on May 16th, 2014


Dead Wish


If I could send a river of tears to bring you back upon its back
I would do that and add a Yacht
For you to sail back in style along the River Nile
Where we would sit at the banks and count the miles

The blade of Abaddon has abandoned a wound in my heart
It cut you in your prime, just like that!
I send my tribute with tributaries of tears
That cannot bring you back from your rest

If I could make a wish, I'll make a wish
That you and Shek*** should make a switch
But where you go he cannot tread
My wish is ... certified dead

Rest in Paradise dear friend
