DEAR JOHN LEWIS

I NEVER KNEW YOU BUT WISH I DID

YOU CHANGED OUR WORLD

FOR BETTER’S BID!

IF I ONLY KNEW MORE OF YOU

MY ODE OF YOU WOULD BE MORE DUE!

WHY DID IT TAKE YOUR DEATH

FOR IN ME TO WAKE

FOR YOUR LIFE’S WORTH

IS FOR NAUGHT BUT GOODNESS’ SAKE!

YOU’VE WOKEN MY EYES TO INJUSTICES

THOUGHT SUBLIME,

TO TEACH ME I MUST

AWAKEN TO A COMPLETELY NEW TIME!

WHICH I’M HAPPY TO DO

AS I DON’T FEEL LIKE MY FATHER DID,

I’M TIRED OF BEING AFRAID

OF WHAT HE THOUGHT, MADE HIM BIG

AND THIS IS WHY I TRY

TO OPEN UP MY EYES

TO THE FEAR THAT’S BEEN DISGUISED

AS OPEN HATRED IN THE EYES

OF A NATION FULLY LEFT,

RIGHT TO THE UNWISE!

 

WHAT I FEAR, WILL THIS USHER MY DEMISE?

HAS IS TAKEN YOU BY DISGUISE?

IS THAT THE IGNORANCE I SEE IN YOUR EYES?

CAN’T YOU SEE, THIS IS WHAT GIVE’S RISE

TO THE CORRUPTION

THAT’S BORNE THE LIES

OF THE VICTIMS WHO HAVE ALL DIED

BECAUSE THEY FOLLOWED

THE LIES THAT WERE PLIED?

IT MAKES ME WONDER IS THIS WHY,

THE CONSERVATIVE DEARTH

HAS TAKEN US ALL BY SURPRISE?

BUT WHEN I CONSIDER THE GREED

AND HOW IT’S BROUGHT

THEM TO THEIR KNEES,

I SOON LEARN THAT IT’S THEIR NEED

TO PILFER OUR NATION’S TWEED!

 

FOR UNVEILING THIS DISGUISE,

TO JOHN, I WANT TO THANK

FOR HELPING TO OPEN MY EYES 

THAT THEY MAY NO LONGER SEE

THE FEAR SO INNATE IN ME!

IT WAS A FEAR THAT I DIDN’T WANT TO BE,

SO THANK YOU, FOR MY GLEE

OF NO MORE FEAR FROM

NOW THROUGH ETERNITY!

FOREVER GRATEFUL I WILL BE!

FOR YOUR lIFE’S ENDEAVOR

NOW LIVES WITH ME!

ALLOWING ME TO PROCLAIM

“THAT A JOB WELL DONE,

FOR YOU AS WELL AS ME!

 

THANK YOU JOHN

FOR YOUR ETERNAL SERVICE!
