THE AFRICAN LIGHT

He that can look into the seed of time

'N tell you which seedling will germinate

Like a footprint,

He has printed the Alphabets

Producing Letters of literature

'N words of creativity

Books of legacy

He's itemized his actions

'N laid eggs of a Pan-African

Hatching chicks of inspiration

On the African continent

Leaving footsteps of hope

Shoes of determination,

Socks of wisdom,

For all those who know the purpose of time

Like a blown balloon he has left the earth

Igniting us with his last breath

Rest on the nest of mercy

Marry to our prayers

'N be accompany with tears of regrets

Gone but shall never be forgotten.

In memory of late Chinua Achebe
