Fly your flag half-mast,
Send your condolences to the family,
It’s a sad time for the nation.
A Prime Minister of the country
has passed away after a long illness.
Show your respect, do your due diligence.
But don’t sanitize the history.
This is a moment to be sad,
shed your tears, remember the good of the departed soul.
Write your eulogy with tears in your eyes,
with blood in your heart.
Forget and forgive, but remember,
The good can mask the bad for so long.
And the ugly ultimately rules history.
