To the end
your provocations
rang out heavy
and your challenges
still echo strong in
the winds of
discontent and
change that we all
share as searching
creatures in this place.
Your quiet protests
and analysis of the
state of humanity,
make us mourn
for you all the more.
For you spoke
with the rare tongue
of truth, even though,
you never called
yourself a prophet
or made any claims
other than that
you were human too,
and thus you could
look through the lens
of your own self
in order to
judge the world.
This troubling heart
we will remember;
this spirit of grace
will carry us on,
and your words,
O your words,
will haunt us ever,
as we search for
these dark truths.
