Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon Poet Elegiac Lyric

When Bbc Dies

We all wonder how time flies
As tears flow in our eyes
When shall we stop our cries?
Each day and night, living libraries pay the price

How do I narrate thy death?
A threat to my health!
My heart bleeds!
As sepulcher gives you shields

I thought it was an Irony
Because at a time like that, thou acted funny
However, I've accepted my agony!

Thy death, my grieve, my cries!
When 'Beauty Brain Character' dies
Then, what good thing in the world lies?







Mourning the death of a friend, Joyhes Osiebe who was a symbol of BBC(Beauty Brain Character) who died on Thursday, 22nd December, 2016 in an auto crash. Miss you, BBC.

Mark Peterson December 27, 2016 at 1:52 PM Lovely words and tribute. Poetry helps as catharsis. It doesn't lessen the pain. In fact it amplifies but then seems to endure for a little less time. I'm writing one now for the loss of one of our little twin girls. No less keenly felt though she had four legs. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 27, 2016 at 3:15 PM Oh! Mark, so sorry about the loss. Poetry is only an avenue for the purgation of our emotions, the pains remain though.

Freddie Robinson Jr. December 27, 2016 at 12:37 PM I am grieved w/you, Adeniji. I will try to see if I can find some old episodes and watch some of that show w/her in it. Tragic and beautiful tribute. Love and joy to you. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 27, 2016 at 3:20 PM It is always shocking to hear bad news like this. Thank you for your care always, great good friend, Freddie.

Andrea Dietrich December 25, 2016 at 2:08 PM I am so sorry this happened. I was anxious to know what BBC meant. It's tragic when someone so blessed just dies in the blink of an eye. Must have been a very special person to you. Adeniji Toluwalope Gideon December 26, 2016 at 2:29 AM Joyhes was very distinct during her lifetime and it hurts to hear that she is no more. Thank you my good friend, much love and joy to you.
