The Day of Drums

The posse of soldiers will sound the Last Post as a great man comes home to his village for his rest in peace. The drums will follow. Solemn ceremonies that evoke a hundred emotions. The liveried in limousines will leave.

R I P dies not necessarily have to mean what it generally does. According to one of my teachers the message is Rise If Possible!

Takes one back into times of great events, upheavals in history.

But the day's sunset will also have to include serious stuff for people living in countries such as ours. Questions on high law. Time to think and check if our altitudes of thought chime with those in the corridors of power. Where are those corridors in the first place? The highest pedestals of law? the viceregal lodge? or the soldiers' pillboxes?

Who is right?

As you go to bed tonight, spare a thought for those who may have been forced to exit in error!
