The Loss of the Frigate Bird

It's only you in the eyes of many

I-Kiribati--they can watch than any.



Break dance, monkey move, disco, tamure and rap

are the gifts you always had as your gift wrap.



As always, when onstage in front of the crowd

those who watch might proudly cheer and laugh aloud!



Now that you're gone to greet Jesus in his land,

your wife, family, friends and fans can't stand.



Harass, they feel so empty and incomplete,

making them unworthy as a dead wheat.



All cry; they mourn; men weep because of you!

The moms and kids will never see you in view!



Good God, you came to him as a heart attack.

Good news, he follows you and doesn't look back.



Lord! Let things clear--having him was your plan

that was vague in the mind of a young man.



That lad was unique! He's endowed in action

and so amazing in his reaction.



I shall tell fans in verse that he's fine there

so that holler will cease and care may bear.



As Kiribati's fave comedian,

your image and smile will be in median.



Have a good life in that holy station.

But please never forget about your nation!
