Dare Onadele - Gone Indeed
It’s a dream <br />Please wake me. <br />It’s not real <br />Please tell me. <br />It’s not true <br />Please confirm it. <br /> <br />How is it possible? <br />He was strong and agile. <br />Holding his heart’s knob <br />Silently death sneaked in <br />Still no one saw it come. <br />Death brushed his hair gray <br />And caught his teeth prey <br /> <br />The heritage calabash is broken <br />His lineage shalln’t be forgotten. <br />The Akoko leaf dry and fallen. <br />The metal gong is rotten <br />Beyond repair and amend. <br />His royal cheers shall be missed. <br /> <br />Where was the guard <br />When the calabash got smashed? <br />Where was the maid <br />When the leaf got fade. <br /> <br />He plainly made this known <br />The thick blood and water of his own <br />Should inherit him on the throne <br />After his heart denies him throb. <br />To yield to all and should not snub <br />Then have his blessings as onion bulb. <br /> <br /> <br />To his princes and princesses <br />The chiefs are yet to access <br />Just to dropp the dreadful news <br />That the King of J. Onad Palace <br />Death has made him to demise. <br /> <br /> <br />By: Onadele Dare <br />All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Dare Onadele<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gone-indeed/
