THE MIC PUT DOWN
Our skies, yielding grief 
As a soca icon passes on;
 Bidding goodbye in disbelief 
All those songs rekindled; 
This March sky, yielding grief. 
Young and old and in between,
 Remembering a refrain or motif; 
He chose to render to his fans, 
While building in no way brief, 
A legacy, to culture and art form; 
Soca, this March, yielding grief.
