When Death Calls by Chocoman(m): 10:27pm On Feb 08, 2020
I know the tone of your call
So don't pretend as if I don't know you
Your call carries the tone of an horror movie
That gives sleepless nights

When you call
You come with a smiling face
To show the beauty beyond
And how everlasting you are

You think I don't know you
You are coloured with fake smiles
And always walk about with dark clothes like a widow's wardrobe
Is it not you that called Musa Yar' Adua and the likes of Oronto Douglas?

I know the tone of your call
And when it's answered
Even couples who hadn't spoken for a year
Hold hands to shed tears
And silence creeps into their heart

I know you perfectly
So I won't stop for you
But you will stop for me
To drive me to old age
With no haste

But I know, one day
I shall answer your call
Because we shall all go
Like Ghana must go
Where we shall be laid low, very low
In the dark of the soil

Punctuations are important in poetry, it enables readers to know when there is a pause, period or enjambment. Please take note. Thumbs up.
