Ìràwé; lying comatose beside this lone road
Birds silently reminiscing on your memories untold.
Ìràwè; through you, nature preaches sermon unknown
Perhaps, our characters it sets to mould

In this state, I need see you Ìràwé
For that, I have travelled from a land far away
I have rode here on the chariot of imagination meant for Knights
To mourn you, I have sojourned all night

See, he is here-the mysterious Omoni
For your funeral, he embraced the cold all morning
Looking at mother tree, I read your unwritten biography
And here, to be knocked out by whirlwinds, I have imagined

Ìràwé, who ever thought you could turn sick?
No one! You were so healthy and nature green
Ìràwé, the man you shielded from rain while you were green will soon come
He would walk pass as you crack silently under his harsh boots

Ìràwé, the woman you guided from the sun?
She is here, in the fire she will make, you shall burn
Ìràwè, before then, teach me to know that life won't last
I beg of you, let it echo that I belong to the sand

Ìràwé, your green brothers are dancing to the tune of the killer wind
Ironic! The same way men enjoy the deadly life goodies
Your absence is too obscure among your healthy siblings
Life is only beautiful when it dawns that it holds no meaning...

OMA4U, did you authorise this 'remix'?

Oh! I need you to enlighten me. Have in mind the famous "Abiku" written by J.P Clark. There are over 4 other poems titled "Abiku" from different authors without the noise thing. The same with "letter to my unborn" child. I can count hundreds like that. Please, this should not birth the argument. I only think it was wrong for me to have even allude that I used his title as long as the content are different. There is no need making a review of the principles guiding intellectual property. Thanks for stopping by.

"inspired by OMA4U's title."

Sorry my mind was a bit off, considering its the same title different content and its not even trademarked.

I didn't read the poem, I scanned through and made that silly comment, my apologies and thanks for clarifying things.

. Rare to see your type. Educated and civil. Not because you saw reasons, but because you defeated the greatest weakness of any man. The attitude of "I cannot be wrong." I respect you for that.

I like the poem, reminds me of our relationship with nature and the way we just abuse it.

Wish I could add more but I suck @ poetry.

Once again my apologies sir.
