Thanks for your message, i will get back to you as soon as i am available.
The pains are endless
The medicines are helpless
Her body is lifeless
Nneanyi is gone
Akagiaku is gone
Mama is gone
The illness is dead too
By the grave side
The sun has gone down too fast
The trees are dancing
The birds are playing
The cloud is weak
It is raining
Tears is raining
Every cheek is wet
Every eyes are red
Our bloods are boiling
Lower
Lower lower
Lower lower lower
The casket kisses the grave
Golden silence as tears runs down again
Dust for dust
Sand for sand
Earth for earth
The thirsty grave is quenched
The hungry grave is full
Laid down below six feet
Rest in peace
It is finished
Nneanyi is gone
Akagiaku is gone
Mama is gone
Tears runs riots again
Cries pierced through silence
Step by step
Shoulder to shoulder
The silence is broken again
The day is busy
The day is old
The wind is fast asleep
All conflicting and complimenting each other
The sound of the walk was so loud
Whispers is alive again
The clouds go dark again
Walking down the hills
Walking back home
It was like a thousand miles
Can't say goodbye to mama
At last she is resting in peace
Nneanyi is gone
Akagiaku is gone
Mama is gone
Not gone too soon
Over three scores and ten
89 is the number
All is not lost
She nurtured ambassadors
Her footsteps are engraved in the sand of history
Adieu mama.

- Comment from author about the poem: When my mother passed away, half of me died with her and i thought the world has come to an end. As a matter of fact, my world changed; i start to learn how to breath, walk, talk, live and view things again - socially, physically, spiritually and politically.

remember she lives through you. great poem.R,I.P
i asked my mother as she lay dying what would I do. She said a greater than me will be with you. We live on through our ancestry, the ones who planted precious seed. Your honor is noted.
