A Son of the Rock

It seems not a day goes by without someone notable passing away.

And now it’s Benjamin Zephaniah.

Poetry isn’t really my thing, dub poetry less so, but Zephaniah was undoubtedly important – for representing those from a generally overlooked background and for saying things that need to be said, though those with vested interests might wish them to remain unsaid.

Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah: 15/4/1958 – 7/12/2023. So it goes.
