THE LAST GOODBYE.

What a ceremony!

What a function!

Death has robbed people of their beloved one!

They weep and wail for their dear

Tears roll down their cheecks

Condolences come from hundreds of mourners

Oh, what a crowd of mourners!

Courage, brothers and sisters, says the Sheikh.

Shock to the bereaved, but the Sheikh resists,

Grief to all mourners but the Priest insists,

Brethren, courage, that is not the end of the world.

From dust we come to dust we return

No one owns life no one chooses death

Down they lower the coffin into the last home

Mourners will weep and wail their dear one is gone

Courage widows and orphans

The Sheikh and Priest console the mourners.
