ELEGY OF A FRIEND

Location

Nigeria

 


 


Death


how could you be so cruel


wicked and indifferent


to the tears in our eyes


and the sores in our heart


 


why did you take him so soon


at the moment when his presence is most needed


at the time when we love to hold him dear


and you deprived us of all these at a time


 


if u hear our wails bro


and how sober we are without you


you cant but be in garden of enjoyment


as that can only save us of this emotional stroke
