By: Ibrahim Sofiyullaha Olaitan
Husband to one, father to all,
Has received a call you don’t decline
He ascends sky with soul,
He descends earth with flesh
Let every heart beat in fear,
Gone where not only he belongs.
Gone where all eyes shall eye
Akala has paid his debt to nature.
So will you and I, all in time soon.
It has come to him a time,
When oxygen deny nostrils
And heart ceases to dance,
Shall his soul count the cost,
A diamond amidst pebbles,
Could be taken for a toy.
Where care is forsaken,
Man is always mistaken,
A rare a gem, unsung,
Finally, has taken his bow.
The polyglot now speak death.
Adieu papi!
