In Case Of My Demise Poem by PAUL OGUDA

When I die
I know no one will cry
But you will miss me
That I am sure of..
I don’t know why
But like 2 pac
I have to do this
Write my thoughts
“In the event of my demise”
Death is certain
Every second, every minute
Let`s appreciate before
The drawing of our curtains
Let`s not limit
What we want...what we hope for
In case of my demise
I gave you the reasons not to cry
For my fallen self
By all the things I lived for
Weed, hope and dreams of a revolution
Liberty, I really don’t know
What I all along lived for?
But it`s my conviction
That I lived for something
In case of my demise
I know no one will cry
But one thing I know
Someone will cry
Her tears
Like the Nile
Will flow down her cheeks
Her eyes will be red
For me… just me
Please let my mama cry
Don’t stop her, you are wondering why?
I am all she had
Her little boy…
The joy of her life
Her heart will never heal
Time can`t heal
Her world without me
In case of my demise
God all I ask is…
Let it be the right time
When my mother is old
Her face wrinkled and pale
Her back bent like the Kamba bow
Due to old age
In case of my demise
Let me die
When my mama can cry no more
