The night skies lounge across the heavens,
Golden flecked paint shimmers and swirls,

Flames of orange kiss smoky lipped clouds,
Purple velvet drapes the throne of twilight,

White, silver and black, all dancing together,
This is the soul of a city rich with humanity,

Love is here, light and beauty too, all here,
Every colour, and every song is sung here.

In the soul of her aura glittered compassion,
Soft eyes, where the lustre of life sweetly smiled,
Her hypnotic lips radiant petals of contemplation,

Every fragrant word she spoke swam upon the air,
The melody of a lilting heart in the fields of freedom,
Her devotion danced upon starlit rays of the cosmos,

Tenderness tingled upon her delicate fingertips,
And pure joy twinkled from deep within her core,
Light, serenity, and humanity swirled around her.

Wipe away the pain of the weeping soul,
Breathe,
My Black and White world,
Breathe,
The walls of separation will crumble
And hatred shall be no more,
A day of light and healing will dawn,
Our world will know hope.

Peace is the name of my Beloved,
Mercy is the message of my Beloved,
Humanity is the passion of my Beloved,
Come all you broken ones to my Beloved,
You shall walk free in the land of my Beloved.

Farrokh Bulsara was his earthy birth name,
From the exotic sultanate of Zanzibar he hailed,

He crossed continents fleeing unrest and violence,
A refugee boy seeking sanctuary to Britain he came,  

His talent and passion was to unite one and all,
Bismillah! He rhapsodised in the name of God,

The world came to know him by another name,
Freddie Mercury written all over records and stages,

Remember him too as the lad who arrived here,
An outsider, a traveller, a refugee, a human being.

O, my beautiful cosmic light, my eternal Beloved,
Peace for the ravaged, forgotten and unloved,

Grant us the days of sweet summer serenity,
The songs and sounds of brotherhood and unity,

I pray for the silence of the guns and broken bones,
No more roar of infernal damnation and death drones,

Revenge leaves the world hollow, skinned and stolen,
Let us remember the poor, erased, apocalyptic fallen,

O, my radiant lord of mercy, love and humanity,
Give us this day a memory of times without calamity.

O, my eternal Beloved,
Let my invaded nation heal,

They came with greed and rage,
Leaving behind fire and blood,

No more imperial armies,
May my sacred borders run free,

End the apocalyptic division,
We are one in life and hope,

See us, hear us, know us,
Understand our words of love,

Salaam Alaikum,
Peace be upon you.
