I Lost A Friend by Nobody: 9:19am On Jul 25, 2006 |
It was a bad yesterday. Monday mornings were my best days. But, yesterday was different. I was on my way for lunch, After a hectic morning in the office. Then I saw a fellow colleague I saw a fellow Ladokite. He asked me if I knew you He asked if I knew MYKEL What a funny question. Who won’t know MYKEL? Who won’t know you? I tot it was a good news Then the bombshell came. MYKEL, I heard you died MYKEL is it true? MYKEL are you there? MYKEL are you a ghost now? MYKEL please tell me, it was just a rumor. I’m short of words. How can I explain this to the whole house? You are just too much You are just MYKEL. You are an epitome of politics. How can a star dim? How can a fire burn out? How can a future drown? How can an ocean dry? MYKEL, how? We were never really close You were a politician I am one too. You contested for a departmental post And you lost honorably. You never allowed that to stop you You re-contested again MYKEL, even though you lost the second time, You won my heart over and over. I was your secret admirer I love your gut and boldness I love your vision and mission I love your patriotism and leadership style To me, you were perfect. All of a sudden, You became my party member Before we knew it, You became an exco. National Liberty Vanguard, I belong Great NLV you belong. When you were an exco, I was one too We became somehow close. Not really too close. You are the boy among the men You are the men among the boy You are the genius of our time A budding star from Lautech A mechanical engineer to be In a year’s time you were to graduate With a B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering After five years of painful labour Lo and behold you are gone You left without a good bye I heard you were sick for a day And then you died. I was so shocked to believe it You are too young MYKEL Who are mine to question God! Who are we to ask him why? Your death is too much to bear MYKEL, what happened? I know the last thing you wanted was death You wanted to live like everybody You wanted to enjoy like everybody To add more to my sorrow, I heard they did your candlelight procession in school. Who lead it? Did they carry your picture? MYKEL are you there? Please come out and shame them You were to be on a six-month industrial training You were to be on[b] I.T.[/b] Oh my God! MYKEL is no more You were so handsome and innocent You looked like a dad’s boy Yet you were brilliant and serious MYKEL, permit me to say good bye On behalf of: LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, OGBOMOSO STUDENTS, ALL LADOKITES NATIONAL LIBERTY VANGUARD, LAUTECH CHAPTER, ALL 400L STUDENTS ON INDUSTRIAL TRAINING ALL 400L STUDENTS ALL ENGINEERING STUDENTS ALL 400L ENGINEERING STUDENTS LAMMY DA GIRL I’m saying adieu!!!
