Funny but Sorrowful

Should I wail Should I Scream?

It is shocking it is sad

Should we call it a tragedy or Dzogbevoe?

A household has torn apart

And the falcon cannot hear the falconer

Who is to stand in for who?

Who is to put who beneath the earth?

Who shall we talk to? And

Who will hear what has happen to us with us?

Alas two great entities

Should we call it normal? Or

We say is one of those things?

Men and women, boys and girls, kids, infants and toddlers

Has gather from all walks of life

Just to see what sadagati (death) has brought on our household

Everyone say one thing or the other

Who can tell what exactly befall our household?

Oh Dzogbese Lisa

Why have you treated us thus?

Who will take me high so 

I can question Sogbolisa (God)

Our questions are rhetorical

They cannot be answered

What is man that he might keep all treasures on earth for himself?

II

Alas what I feared most has come upon my house

Is so very hard to say bye bye

It’s something that the heart of a mortal can never tolerate

But is something that has come upon man

Oh Dzogbevoe!!! Oh Dzogbevoe!!!

This is what Dzogbevoe and Dzogbese

Has brought upon our house

Who is ready to answer our rhetorical questions?

Hmm!!!

Should we call it a tragedy, Dzogbese, Dzogbevoe

I come to agree that “Dzogbevoe menya ame o”

Whether young or old anyone can fall a victim

What a life full of tragedies!!! 

 Six feet deep he goes beneath the earth..
