I thought it was another vile propaganda
For that has been other’s agenda
Until thee thrash out of ananda
The tidings brought us all groaning referenda
All wails go to our beloved Amanda
It is convincing rumour
For beings are toed to true glamour
Like Romeo losing an amour
Here and there is unmusical clamour
No soul can even be moved by Bean’s humour
Thou flee to trance
But land nowhere near France
In my heart is throbbing pain of Calvary lance
Broken is our gold-graved faience
Tears and sobs our common parlance
The dolorous tributes may try
But I won’t cry
Yet I feel like a fish for fry
My dejection elicits everyone’s pry
Friends and foes soothe me without wry
But only God can pat me dry
In evidence
He is my second providence
I habituate in thee character residence
Of strict abhorrence
To moral decadence
He is a pearl of precedence
In all measure of human incidence
He made me Confidence
Extinguished in me all remnants of diffidence
He is my pre-eminent role model
For the hoi polloi his mollycoddle
He never fist against those who at him twaddle
Even at a point his moribund soul was in solemn waddle
With all his onto others sense of sympathy
Many are those who bore him great antipathy
Yet he accepted all dissing with apathy
Today’s farewell convulse us into a realm of empathy
The people’s desire is his passion
Only those of turpitude fail to see his compassion
The man of mammoth erudition
Was ever ready to ration
The scarce resources of ours to the nation
To the citizenry’s satisfaction
For he believes personal gratification
Was mundane fashion
Nonetheless the Judases of vilification
Gave him up for Crucifixion
A paragon of altruism
A specimen of patriotism
A template of socialism
A definition of egalitarianism
A figure of moralism
A cutting of pluralism
Leaves us all in abject pessimism
Asomdwehene your soul shall be well
For we behold you by the Garden of Pearl’s well
Even though our tears and moans make us no well.
You left us in fragmented piece
Uncle you left thou niece
You left us irreducible lacuna of no ease
To Rest In Peace
