First Gong Vol. 8: Thrust FIRST GONG 8 THRUST

THOSE WHO DIE FIRST – Chisom This is to those who die first Those who don’t see death in all its colours Those who hear of it and never lived through it The lucky ones. This is to those who die first Those whose days define their stories beyond life Those who played on the outer shadows of immorality In the shadows of things not mentioned Taboos too wrought to be acknowledged Those who saw things and wished they had not seen Those whose lives are governed by the laws of the first born This is to those who died first Those gifted life but choose death Those whose dirty consciences rot Those dehumanized beings calling themselves human This is for those who were mentioned first but forgotten Those who stood in high places and laced their souls with their ancestors. This is for those who are not to be mentioned Those whose wounds killed them first before they died Those whom on the wings of death blissfully glide Those we knew but now looked at as new This is for those who live here now Let us grasp fleeing hope on its tail And die before we let go!
