The Last Salute by Gentlebabs(m): 8:51am On May 22, 2021 |
A Poem: The Last Salute He was fearlessly reliable He was a beacon of hope But the road ends here for them Goodnight General Attahiru and compatriots. We doubted our doubts Wallowed in extreme insecurity We slept and woke like Owls Until you became COAS Goodnight General, Goodnight. Something must kill a man But Soldiers never die... They transit to a better beat And stand with the celestial army Guarding us from above. We'll put our pains behind us We will fold the flag neatly And deliver the duffel with honours And to those who transited with you Your labour shall never be in vain. When death comes knocking Even the most powerful must bow You and others died in active service What a way to exit with imprints in our books Imprints written in pens of gold and points of silver. You all left with amazing goodwills Nigeria thanks you for your service Now that you've tendered your last salutes To all that died in that aircraft We hereby accept your last salute. Goodnight. Babatunde Raimi, Poet. +2348178827380 & +2348035063895
