DEAD HERO

DEAD HERO
This hero have seen it all at once
The bad, the ugly, the sweet and the sour
This heart was once woven with joy
These arms motionless have embraced dignitaries
This mouth have given orders
Saying ‘go now and fight the war and
Make sure victory is brought’
This heart have known and felt love
Unbroken glory and a gathered radiance
Walking tall and leaving a mark
The years have given him kindness
The dawn, the sunset and colours of
The earth have favoured him
This one have seen movement and
Heard music, known slumber and waking
This one have been loved, gone friended
This one have touched flower and cheeks
This one have been passionately hug
And kissed all at once
This one have fought and won
Fallen and risen
This one have failed and passed
Starved and filled
This one have cried and laughed
This one have slept and dreamt
This one was born and born he
What a life of variety this one have lived
He has heard and was once heard
This breathless thing was once our
Leader and our king
To whom we bow and say
K A B I E S I, your royal highness !
Akinkanju okunrin !
What a brave man !
But here we are missing this man
Standing taller than this man
Greeting him without our chest
On the ground
Waving different shapes and sizes of hands
To this worldly known a conqueror
Whom death has eternally knocked down
This man have truly lived and died
Adieu !!! the hero of our time !
