ELEGY
(For Dr Hon J.B.David, Minister of Regional Affairs, Rodrigues and Outer Islands)

Oh ye sun! Oh ye moon! Oh ye stars bear witness to the elegy of Maurtius Young Labour league!

Oh my beloved country! Oh my beloved country! Oh my beloved country!
Weep at the untimely demise of an intellectual stalwart!
Oh weep! Weep! Weep!

Oh ye men and women young or old of the Tiger of the Indian Ocean are not thy wounded heart trickling tears of blood through thy eye at the unexpected passing away of a grumbling lion in our August National Assembly – an Orator unpaired in depth and conviction OF THE IDEAL OF THE LABOUR PARTY?

Oh ye members of the Labour Party must ye not be aggrieved at tintinnabulation of doom of an indefatigable mouthpiece of a true Labourite?

Oh ye wind! Oh ye rain! Oh ye rainbow – nay oh ye Universe when comes such another!
