DEATH

SHOT OF WORDS Death arrives like a sudden flash, A shock that stays, a pain that lasts. Tears flow freely, a deluge of grief, Please, take this handkerchief, let me share your relief. Death is inevitable, it strikes without warning, Sometimes it knocks, but even pleas can't stop it from dawn. The sad news came, a truth hard to bear, Baba is gone, but death's victory is short-lived, for I believe he's only sleeping in the Lord's embrace, His legacy lives on, a comforting grace. Don't cry, for he's at peace, no more pain or strife, It's helping our daddy rest in eternal life. Sorry for your loss, may my condolences bring you cheer, May God's love and strength be your solace, always near. Abiola OlaOluwa Poet & Author

GRAVE YARD

The Grave, a Fearful Room Termites and maggots wait with glee For flesh to turn to bone, a destiny Many have entered, never to leave Death closes eyes, both noble and bereaved Oh, how I wish to avoid this fate But the room beneath is our ultimate state Grace humbles all, no matter our might Death is inevitable, a harsh light Children cry, wives sob, families mourn But their words may be empty, their hearts torn Our positions are temporary, we must know The world isn't ours alone, it's a fleeting show Don't be deceived, life isn't yours to keep It's life that's using you, until you sleep Your strength will fail, your eyes will see The reality of how the world uses and discards humanity Run to Jesus, seek refuge in His name For soon your eyes will close here and open to eternal flame Hell or heaven? Your deeds will be the judge By Abiola OlaOluwa Author & Poet
