What a World!


By Izunna Okafor

Tears roll down my cheeks
Beholding the palm tree I tapped 
From his knowledge of blue ink
With a bow, lofting off a huge gap

What a World !

Our intellectuals have all died
And the vase of wisdom dried up
The siege of our dear unbounded hist
Dusked and whisked away in a rueful tomb.

What a World !

In silence has the nature laid hold 
Of the man I cherish so bold
Parting him behind our physical ears
And boiling us in the pot of rueful  tears

What a World !

The wave blew aloud like a ruse
Kidnapping attentions as a tale
Only to jail some minds in her rue
Blinking as sorrows in the eyes of men

What a world !

We never expected an untimely departure 
But that has reposed our penner in a mellow
For the time of men is tied to the nature 
And our tears for the dead a show of sorrow

What a world! 


The death has struck deep down our marrow 
And incarcerated us to the jail of sorrow 
We wail not that he was not old
But beside us lies an empty hole
Who then will satisfy our thirsty souls

What a World!
