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.
Life is scary,
Life and death
loom the streets,
Strangers we are,
To this wicked world.
Your demise
shocked many hearts,
Eyes wail in tears,
Why so soon?
Mbaa...Onwu!
On your way
To Fuwukari,
For statement
of result,
Agent of death visited.
Accident,
Where many travel unprepared
You survived,
At the hospital
the narrative changed.
What a colossal loss!
I'm deeply pained
'Igwe',
As you popularly call me,
This world no balance.
Why so soon?
Your family in ashes
Is it a natural home call
Or a man made home call?
Onwu, why?
What can we say?
Our hearts bleed,
Your memories
will live forever,
Good night Tonia.

- Comment from author about the poem: The poem is an elegy. It reflects on stings of death. Death is an enemy of man. But through it man transcends to higher glory or gory. Death a vehicle to man's transition.
