Tribute to the Late her Excellency Janet Jagan

Tribute to the Late her Excellency Janet Jagan

The falcon falls

Embraced the land of six races
The hero of struggle
With rich intellect and motherly bravery
Known fondly as blue-eyed bhoujie

She placed the Indian culture
On the altar of her American dream
And graced the downtrodden with hopes
On barely daubed bottom houses

To the misguided
The ideologue argued in their palaces of honor
Even Palestinians and Cubans you did not forget
Now your legacy too will not be forgotten

Not to be mistaken for her political views
Not everyone agrees with a God-ridden philosophy
But the rights of women and the right to speak
The whole world applauds even in holy places
