I thought it
was another vile propaganda
For that has
been other’s agenda
Until thee
thrash out of ananda
The tidings
brought us all groaning referenda
All wails go
to our beloved Amanda
It is convincing
rumour
For beings are
toed to true glamour
Like Romeo losing
an amour
Here and
there is unmusical clamour
No soul can
even be moved by Bean’s humour
Thou flee to
trance
But land
nowhere near France
In my heart is
throbbing pain of Calvary lance
Broken is
our gold-graved faience
Tears and
sobs our common parlance
The dolorous
tributes may try
But I won’t
cry
Yet I feel
like a fish for fry
My dejection
elicits everyone’s pry
Friends and
foes soothe me without wry
But only God
can pat me dry
In evidence
He is my
second providence
I habituate
in thee character residence
Of strict
abhorrence
To moral
decadence
He is a
pearl of precedence
In all
measure of human incidence
He made me
Confidence
Extinguished
in me all remnants of diffidence
He is my pre-eminent
role model
For the hoi
polloi his mollycoddle
He never
fist against those who at him twaddle
Even at a
point his moribund soul was in solemn waddle
With all his
onto others sense of sympathy
Many are
those who bore him great antipathy
Yet he
accepted all dissing with apathy
Today’s
farewell convulse us into a realm of empathy
The people’s
desire is his passion
Only those
of turpitude fail to see his compassion
The man of mammoth
erudition
Was ever
ready to ration
The scarce
resources of ours to the nation
To the
citizenry’s satisfaction
For he
believes personal gratification
Was mundane fashion
Nonetheless
the Judases of vilification
Gave him up
for Crucifixion
A paragon of
altruism
A specimen
of patriotism
A template
of socialism
A definition
of egalitarianism
A figure of
moralism
A cutting of
pluralism
Leaves us
all in abject pessimism
Asomdwehene
your soul shall be well
For we behold
you by the Garden of Pearl’s well
Even though
our tears and moans make us no well.
You left us
in fragmented piece
Uncle you
left thou niece
You left us irreducible
lacuna of no ease
To Rest In
Peace
