it happened at once
yet as if it was by chance
but remembering his last dance
i'm yet to come out of my trance
now with a stance
i write this with his life at a glance
perhaps your arms u began to fold
when the sad story you were told
even though he was 2yrs short of 70yrs old
it was a few hours pass noon
when every Ghanaian stopped greeting 'good afternoon'
as their facial expressions carried sorrow
like someone being insulted over 5pesewas he never borrowed
they made calls to continue inquiring
but the bad news kept on growing never receding
then circulating till it became a reality to all hearing
across the nation's length and breadth
through all the media we heard
the announcement of his sudden death
'cos greatly he was worth
as much as to the one to whom he was birth
so with this sudden demise
mother ghana now cries
as she's lost as son who was wise
for in everything he mentioned the name of christ
a gentleman was he
and to every man he was free
a better ghana he wanted to live to see
but GOD has called him before me
should there be eagles in heaven
may they open their wings to accept him in their haven
if there are lions may their roar announce his presence
but so far as i know of chariots of fire
may this take him up to give him a grand entry
for a great man just left the earth's surface
as a world now weeps at his grave
so live today in preparation for tomorrow
then when with time you expire
and to this sinful world you say bye-bye
you'll surely know under the almighty's shadow u'll abide
for on earth in his presence u had alwayz reside
t-dzanie!
