Cicero
Cicero!The life and death of a wise man.The sage of our time.An epitome of truth
and unparalleled hypertonic wisdom.A paradigm of a purist;a saintlike mortal.We
remember you today and always.Adieu!
Cicero!Oh!Cruel death,wicked pangs of death!You were cut down before your
prime ripe age by your enemies;envious of your progress and achievements
pretending to be oblivious of your gospel truth.Oh!We lost a real gem!
Cicero!You are destined to live forever if not for this mortal flesh of yours;always
threathened by the unknown and closely followed at the heels by death.Ready to
hark you down at your slightest wink.We shall celebrate you forever!
Cicero!Oh!Your pace from death was not fast and distant enough;death was
much clever and faster.Cutting you down with a thunderous unwelcomed
ovation.All to the surprise of your teeming wellwishers.We take solace in and will
ever cherish your noble achievements.
Cicero!You are not meant for this age!Your thinking,reasoning and focus is far
beyond those of your ertswhile competitors,detractors and enemies who had
only marked you down for death.Hm!Seriously envious of your person.We salute
and adore your brevity at all times.
Cicero!Your memory keeps lingering in our minds;too short a life to forget
forever.Everyday rolling by is like yesterday.We are constantly being struck daily
like thunder especially now that we are dawned by the stack realities of your wise
sayings and your swift existence.
Cicero!Your predictions of many years ago are like the day bright shiny stars,
stearing us at the faces;steaming the whole body system.Seriously waiting for
interpretation for its unusual appearance.Saddening!Who is to give the correct
interpretations?
Cicero!Oh!Pity you have the answer and solutions to our present problems and
predicament.The golden spoon is lost in the deep oceans!You have played your
path well; when you were least appreciated.Compatriots!Weep no more!The
sage is gone and gone forever!Take heart!
