Ode To Death Poem by Adidu Adebowale Emmanuel

if not for death man would have live forever to die in their struggle,
death is our benevolent he rescue us from the power of pain and agony,
and lay a self containe so we could lay our bile to enable the poor intestine a life rest
kudos to death
if you see him
say to him i wish him well
ho dear death our lover
i know one day i shall sleep to rise no more
but do bear with me for my blood is still young, and am yet to set the things i need to set down more years ahead
do stay away from me so i can imagine how it will be when i shall be carry on shoulders high wheal to
where no man would sleep,
place where fear shall vanish from my hearth
and pain will cease to knock at my door
and tarmite shall bear me witness that i'm the most quite man on earth
when my tears shall dry up
because death has host me
but never come to host me now
rather come at old time, when my death shall be a joyful sorrow
to my then lover's.
