My friend,
you were tenacious,
ferocious,
elegant and flirtatious,
and funny,
with a smile so wide,
and so beautiful,
oh, how I admired you,
a most powerful you.
You looked for the truth,
and you protested against racism,
hatred,
rape,
torture and murder,
and there was no day,
that you did not fight for,
causes across the world,
and oh, how incredible you were,
with those so blue,
and how intelligent,
and intellectual you were,
and your eyes,
how they glowed,
and reflected the inner you,
and how glorious your heart shone through,
and in your smile too,
rest in peace my friend,
whilst I drink to you, and I remember you.
