Death In Disguise

Coming in disguise and In a side by side system. Never coming in open ways For if this occure, all shall Take cover. It comes in disguise and with Treasure, leisure, pleasurable and desirable Things. If all these abound, many men would be Fished out by the net of the unpredicted. Coming in disguise with golden offers That sows sorrows in the hearts of men. Coming undercover to spray sad memories, To make men helpless, hopeless And even eager for more.... But worry not oh! man, Smile not oh! death, For time is come when you Will be in disguise no more.... ============================ For my late father, Patrick Onyilo, and all my friends who were victimized by death in the BLOODY Jos crisis.

Such a tender and heartfelt dedication to your father, Charles. The emotion comes through so well in your words. One of the poets here dedicated a poem to you -- think it was Doris C. -- and I hope you have read it. Love, Mum
