Peter Dankwa's Auto-Eulogy
The Party Goes On
As long as the sound of the tick
As short as the wait of a new year
Live life for the party goes on
Invited to this losing struggle of life
Invited to this beautiful mess
Live life for the party goes on
No saviour awaits you
For the saviours couldn’t save themselves
Live life for the party goes on
Serve yourself and have your fill
Serve others but have your fill
Live life for the party goes on
I have had my fill
Tasted every assortment at the buffet
Live life for the party goes on
To love and be loved
I should have loved more
Live life for the party goes on
But how could I love fullest
When love felt lonely
Live life for the party goes on
The smile of a new-born
The grief after the long gone
Live life for the party goes on
I know this party goes on
For I came to meet it
But I beheld this great evil at this party
Men fearing to be themselves
Living for other men and their gods
But I feared neither men nor their gods
Oh I feared wearing the face of another man
But I feared no more
Life is too short not to be yourself
So whatever you heard about me
Were they from men with masks
Take heed and not live by them
If what they say I said cannot be found here
Know that they are men with masks
I had only one mask
For I left this party wearing that mask
Because I had no option than to wear my face
So hold on to your face
For the party will still go on without you
But who are you if you wore another face
Live life for the party goes on
