Adieu Josh

How dark was it? How indellibly dark? A fateful Friday of fate We shared banters in bits I asked you over and over for the weekend but you declined bacause you would rather share the moment with your family. As I journeyed to the capital I reckoned we would see on Monday. then came the evil caller and you were gone. gone! gone!! gone my friend!!! I sobbed, sobbed and cried hoping you would walk right through the door But you have not come. You were not sick, neither were you depressed, You were gaily and great This death came uninvited. young and nice, my friend, A fisrt class banker they call you, But I call you lover of mandkind! Oh Josh, fateful Friday it was, You left home kissing Junior and mother hoping you would come back but you never did! We are still waiting... but they said you would not be back Josh! How do people die? How do they go to work and never return? Do they just sleep and sleep on? Adieu my brother!
