THE VOICE
A nation cries out
Loud in pain
For it has lost
One of its greatest voices
A voice of truth
A voice of patriotism
A voice of passion
A voice of creativity
A voice of strength
A voice of African pride
I cry out with my people
For we have lost a writer
An icon to be reckoned with
A man who fights back
Negativity with pen
And paper
A man of many stories
Who told the tale of Africa
In the right perspective.
I mourn such a
great man
Chinua Achebe will
forever
Be in my heart and forever
Live through my pen.
