Notice of absence from Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
I will surely get back to you when I come online.
I will surely get back to you when I come online.
Today many eyes are teary,
Over a demise of a daughter,
Who left home, healthy and hearty,
To her place of work, at Bakasi's shop.
Fate isn't fair,
There, an unexpected played out,
Furry flame launched an attack,
Favour, caught in flame of naked cables.
Her thighs and legs roasted,
By venom of electrocuting cables,
In pains, she screams for help,
Standing and sitting witnesses,
Came to her rescue.
At the FUTH Wukari,
She lies helplessly,
Her body bites in excruciating pains,
She was hopeful in her hopelessness.
Danji S.S, came to her rescue,
And transferred her to Jos teaching hospital,
There, she seems to be recuperating,
But suddenly, death came visiting,
Rest in peace dear Favour.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is an elegy. It recounts the tragic death of a young girl named Favour Chidinma Christian Adumike who went to her work place at Bakasi's phone accessories' shop Wukari, Taraba State, Nigeria, but unfortunately there was a fire outbreak from electricity and she was a victim. Though she was rushed to Jos Teaching Hospital, but unfortunately she later lost her life to the cold hands of death. May her soul rest in peace. Amen.
