The Song Of The Dead! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

The Song Of The Dead! ! !



Do you know the song of the dead?
Have you heard the song of the dead?
Then let me tell you about the song of the dead
It is neither long nor too short
The lines rhyme
There is much alliteration and pun which adds style

It is a fourteen-line verse
The first eight lines tell of the causes of death
The last six lines reveal events of the great beyond,
It is a strange song.
Those who hear it join them
They, too, die.
