Response: In Memory of Farai

Friend, death beckons enticingly

luring and wooing entrancingly

so was I, best friend

taken rudely by a fiend

you are true we are of different worlds dear

separated by grilled fear

death you fear to join me

is this friendship a myth?

Disappear I didn’t so sudden

We dined, wined, laughed

i, Farai, miss you too

daily I walk with you, cry with you, laugh with you

i see you but you don’t see me

I feel the pain you feel

Or do you think the dead can’t hurt and chat?
