When I Died
When i died,
Give my corpse to vultures
For in their bosoms
I shall find peace
I shall be free from man's
Massacres of nature
When i died,
Let no drums echoes
Refrain pattering feet from my spirit
For in silent was i introduced
Into this noisy cosmos
Refrained mourners
From weeping
Because the rains are here
When its rains my spirit will ruin
When i died,
Tell mother,
I was murder
By hunger
Let food litter my grave daily
Lest i died again
When i died,
Bequeath my pen to apes
But for them,
Bequeath my machete
Let them died in their greed
