Elijah in D Major(for Elijah McClain)
Your music was love
breath of God
flowing through
your beautiful instrument
too beautiful
for this world
to listen
because
we do not appreciate
beauty
art
love
when it is among us
we mock
turn a blind eye
a deaf ear
we tear down
we murder
that which
we do not wish
to understand
But we heard your music
that night
even though they
did not
and we applaud your concerto
we never did
while you were here
and try to compose
a requiem
that will be fitting
to one as beautiful
as you.
