An Epitaph!
Brother Soldier!
Please convert your heavy machine gun
Into a soft guitar!
Let it be Maple, Red Oak,
Mahogany or Brazilian Rosewood
Anyway that rhythm should
Touch my wounded heart!
*for Paddy Martin in gratitude!

I would like to translate this poem
Words inscribed on tomb of Mr.Martin from Mr.Dunuhinga.Well done and very natural fellow feeling.Mahogany is only a bit expensive but splendid thinking.
