Take on 'Bury Me in a Free Land'( Guardian)

Take  on ‘Bury Me In A Free Land” ( Guardian)

Show  me   a  place  or corner

Under  this gubernatorial  Sun

Where   unalloyed  Freedom 

Of  care   and   concern

Encompass   humanity

Struggling   for survival.

Make  me  a  grave  though,

 This   topic   is not of  primary

Concern  now ; Whether Native or

alien,  local  or   foreign,  dignity

and  respect  prevail, be  the

predominating   spirits  there.

Surrounding   humanity  ever

and anon tend to care. Make me

a  grave  in a  land  where tender

newborn  and  children  are safe;

Not   kidnapped  for money  and

Mean  gain   or  ulterior  motive.

A   land  where   hunger  squalid 

and uncouth, bins  of  garbage

line up,  land of corruption

money laundering  I abhor.

A land of God’s plenty and  nourish.
I worship  and loyal  to  such a  soil.

  All said  and done,  design  me 

A grave in tune  with  His Design,

Where my MENTOR touches 

and  performs  my last Rites

carving  me for  Next Birth.
