 INDEED HAGE ARRIVED, NOW HIS LEGACY WE SCRIBE

 

Personally, I experience my heart thrown on the floor as its torn;

I wear black daily in your honor as I join the chorus that mourn;

 

We accept death as a part of life and bring forth no argument in this regard;

Yet, was it necessary to take him in that manner with little or no guard?

 

We wanted to say our goodbyes in manners by elders foretold;

All we have left now is your picture, that in our hearts we fold;

 

I am of the opinion that, you still had ten years ahead in your spiritus;

Yet, a well-orchestrated exit strategy became your life’s exodus;

You are in every sense of the word, an administrator of note;

Your instructions proceeded with an ever-commanding pose;

 

A master mind tactician that outclassed his opponents with flair;

They hated you so much, that at times they gave that evil stare;

 

Though many congregated, concocting and complotting for your downfall;

As your ancestors and God guided you, to ensure you remain standing tall;

 

And in pursuit of the purpose of your birth and the fulfilment of that destiny;

You embarked upon that mission, to ensure that your work becomes testimony;

It has not been easy to accept your exit, as it was so sudden;

Deep down these wounds of mine, cry out at night in Latin;

 

You brought the country onward a trend of economic recovery;

Thanks to you, many are no longer a part of this trade slavery;

 

Your presence had a particular aura, when around your energy;

Even from afar you oozed with foresight and confidence cleverly;

 

Encouraged that you, against all odds placed before you not to triumph;

In all your pursuits, you stood head and shoulders above many like a giant;

We should have started the Foundation in the year twenty twelve;

Why did you want to have this mechanism delayed and on the shelve?

 

My vision was to celebrate you, while you’re still around us all;

With you now gone from us, I can’t think of anyone else to call;

 

I heard your voice on the Saturday evening in my space of solace;

Little did I know that, it was your way of showing for the last your face;

 

I awoke to the news via the social media on Sunday of your demise;

I knew then immediately that, the trip to the States was your last dice;

As I paid my last respects, stood in honor and greatness to salute your casket laid in velvet;

I am at peace, that your best man made sure that your body was protected by the helmet;

 

I made it my fervent and determined mission to take your mantle;

I knew I had to do it soon before your body enters the Heroes Temple;

 

I turned and walked away experiencing a heavy weight on my shoulders;

I know that, during my walk here on earth I have many undercover haters;

 

I will ensure that your legacy will never be erased from our country’s history;

That all your contributions made, should not remain to the youth a mystery;

I thank you for your gift to us all, as I remain forever kneeling in gratitude;

May I be blessed with your integrity, diplomacy and work ethic attitude;

 

Teach me not to make the same mistakes that you regret and be vigilant;

Give me your endeavor and fighting spirit, so I can be strong and gallant;

 

I know that you are not happy, yet I know your soul accepted your fate;

You shouldn’t have trusted that soul, when you found out it was too late;

 

I have to accept even though it is hard to embrace, that you took your last breath;

I celebrate your life and take heed to move around this world in deeper stealth;

These eighty plus years lived on earth were a bliss as you are such a blessing;

The day you fulfilled your destiny you took the throne, we stopped stressing;

 

To me and my people’s you are a man of unmatched and unparalleled immense valor;

As a people’s we endeavor to serve you as our lifelong ambitions for your ultimate honor;

 

An old man filled with wisdom you left in our hearts deep rooted footprints;

Now towards my destiny I embark on those focused and progressive sprints;

 

Rest knowing that you are enshrined in our hearts and portrayed in our lives;

May the angels of God with a standing ovation applaud and give you high fives.
