Komla Dumor; 1972-2014 Poem by SEGUN RASAKI

Komlar Dumor; 1972-2014.
Suddenly, seriously? ., Seriously? .
Komlar is gone?
Adieu Komlar, what a colossal loss,
What untimely demise? . I hope it is a dream? .
I hope someone would call to tell it was a mistake!

The ever smiling face on the tube, the gap-tooth ebony is gone?
The angels’ gain is our loss, Dumor left and will not “do more”,
Big Black Caster has fallen, and no more toothy smile on BBC,
What a shame, how can death strike so suddenly at the prime of Komlar’s career? .

Komlar, live on in our memory,
Komlar, rest in bossom of your creator,
Komlar, Big Black Charismatic orator of BBC, bye until we meet again.
Komlar, true son of Africa, seriously, serious is your passing unto glory.
