Goodnight by pauldesimple(m): 1:25pm On Mar 25, 2013 |
My pen refused to write Even after doing everything right And going down to plead Still it refused to give heed 'Let me lie That I might dwell with him on high Let me journey with the soul Who made for us a gorgeous stole Chinua is gone Why must I leave on?' But I beseech you o pen Listen before you depart from men Hold your breath That you might hear the solemn truth Chinua is dead But his course loses not its' head His legacies abound Even though he now dwells beyond He did his part Before things fell apart He is gone But his pen lives on Adieu Chinua Achebe Till we meet again at the glorious bay Goodnight! Goodnight!! Goodnight!!!
