A Humble Prince

To my late FATHER, Stanslas Esau Velentino Phiri A HUMBLE PRINCE! Day after day we saw you labor Under the weight of Fatherhood With delight your responsibilities you discharged That brought daily to us bread Your advice made us wise... "Work hard in school" you said "Lest the world turns you to slaves" ....a rare mentor! Of your descent boasted you not..... Royalty concealed Under the cloak of humility for nobility... For you were a Son of a KING Though not enthroned... Ruler of our people True as it was You remain to be, that, HUMBLE PRINCE!
