"Ozoemena"

I could see their faces through the shadows;
The faces that shine and hide stories untold
And songs unsung,
Of victories through defeats,
Of silence through chatterings.

Skies don't hang o'cast
When glee like the sun does rise;
Rainbows come after the rain,
Theirs hang there in the middle of the storm that swept us away.

The ends means no more beginnings;
No more tears,
No more struggles,
No pain,
The end we all dread like a plague.

Sudden knocks;
Heaven calls;
Man bestirred;
The world unshaken,
Man his course must run.

Tribute kicks us so hard on our heads like a military boot,
Sobs, heaving of the heart, and noiseless shouts rise and fall with unmatched rhythm.

The world and things must fall apart
Like bottles broken in a street fight
All we have are wounded heads
And grieving hearts.

Intensely sad - solemn - and beautifully descriptive
Thank you
