A HERO (HAS LEFT US)

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!...

the twenty-one gun salute, a hero has left us.

With a fancy farewell, on the sand of time,

his footprint flamboyantly favoured.


Phew!  Phew!! Phew!!!...

the drown of discomfort cry, a hero has left us.

In his deathless death,

He stood in the frontline light, 

like a soldier stole.


Guzzle! Guzzle!! Guzzle!!!...

The greedy gluttons, a hero has left us.

Got a mourning commiseration,
as a lesson for the living,

Life is lifeless when we leave no stone unturned.
