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.
Reality is dawn on us,
That death is inevitable,
It's the road of all mortals,
One by one, we take a bow.
Death a vehicle of transition
of higher glory or lower gory,
Many skirts and trousers are on transit,
To account for their deeds on earth.
What account will you render,
Of good or evil?
If your eyes are close to the realities of life,
Will your name be found in the book of life?
Today you are here flourishing
Like the lilies of the field,
Tomorrow you are gone and forgotten,
Life is fair and unfair to many.
Yesterday, in tears your maternal home
bids you farewell,
To journey to Agwu in Enugu state,
your paternal home,
At Adumike's family compound.
Favour, you left in your prime,
Fate isn't fair to you,
Reincarnate again,
And console your parents.

- Comment from author about the poem: The poem calls for deeper reflection about death. Man is sojourner on earth. So as such we must be prepared at all times. Favour Chidinma Christian Adumike whose death came as a shock to one and all, means that no man will escape death.
