Alas! The Biggest Tree has Fallen in the Forest
Birds and Crows Flied To the highest

To break the News to the World
what a Great lose they have lost
Death has Bestowed your Soul
like Oceans bestowed Fish
Sky shed heavenly Tears
death is now what i fear

Death that Kills young and Old
death is now what i fear
death that kills poor and Rich
death is now what i fear


Alas! Chinua Son of Achebe
We love you
but God love you more
forever we will cherish your thoughts and Love.

ADIEU !!! Albert Chínụ̀álụmọ̀gụ̀ Àchèbé

You did well with the write. And thanks to the proof-readers.

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.
