+The final ode
+by Ze'ev Schurmann
+17 November 2020
+
+An ode to be farewell
+To undo the mistakes of past
+Be forgotten the darkness
+That forever will last
+
+An ode to be the end
+To kill the pain and strife
+We carry on our hearts
+And weigh us down in life
+
+An ode to be goodbye
+To carry the hurt away
+The torment that burns
+But not another day
+
+This be the last I say
+This be my final play
