Benjamin Zephaniah, poet and philosopher of love treasured as ‘the people’s laureate’ (1958-2023)

N.B. I must admit, even though I never met Benjamin Zephaniah or knew him personally, I nonetheless feel very saddened and pained by the untimely death of this iconic poet and philosopher of love. I feel like I knew him. His words and presence have always been there. His poems, passion and commitment have always resonated with me. I always felt joy whenever I saw him on television or heard his loving voice on the radio.
I am now praying in my own way for Benjamin, may God grant him eternal rest; he was, in the old idiom, a lovely man, who, if required, may still be a peacemaker in heaven.
Benjamin Zephaniah, The Man for the Common Good
An iconic poet, a giant of a man. Our country, our nation has lost a man of integrity, creativity and moral intelligence. A man who tirelessly campaigned for a more just and truthful world. A man who till the end stood up for the disadvantaged and vulnerable and spoke truth to power.
