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. 1 Like |
