After reading the first stanza, I was overwhelmed and lost in praise of this great piece...best poems are usually those written giving life to the lifeless (personification). Great poem indeed. Adieu baba....sun re o Prophet Obadare died yesterday, Prof. Chinua Achebe followed suit... Why are the politicians not dying instead...RIP Prof and Prop, things falling apart indeed 2 Likes |
