How Soon She Goes. (Tribute To My Dear Sister, Mngohol Tule) Poem by Solomon Terlumun Tule
How Soon She Goes. (Tribute To My Dear Sister, Mngohol Tule)
How soon she goes
She grew like an olive branch
Tenderly nurtured and loved
Like a flower full of sap
Strong and agile she grew
Doing what men could do
Oh, how caring she was!
But life has shunned her fast
At noon she goes
Like a toad chased by a snake
Her race was not enough
Even her kinsmen aid wasn't enough
Earth has chased her away
And to forever land she goes
Oh, death swallowed her up
With no consultation to none
The grave forever has become her home
And forever she'll be missed
Oh, what a kind sister I miss!
Forever she's gone
Oh, how painful she goes
Like a prisoner convicted of crime
Like a Christmas goat she goes
With no choice the judgement she accepts
Who could bid her cause!
Oh, what fate hold for the branches!
If easily the trunk be cut
What a scar she leave on my soul
The mark can hardly erase
Until yonder call I answer.
Rest In Peace Dear Sister.
