Landmark of City --- Remembering Jack Layton

Landmark of City --- Remembering Jack Layton

Flags are flown at the half-staff position
His spirit stands in line at the city
Still giving successor like election
to put his or her stamp on the party

The lying-in-state opening to public
He could not be received any comment
Fifteen-gun salute being his politic
At Parliament Hill for the last moment.

The state funeral is out of stature
For him to pick up the fallen hero
The man who did history and culture
for this country and city Toronto

Gaping hole in political landscape
Gone marks familiar peaceful cityscape

Aug 27，2011，Hormish Garden of Toronto（南河书院）7:00-8:00 pm
