Death Is Wicked Being

To read all posts of Abubakar Shehu Omotosho, Please click here

Death acts like actor,

Death denudes clothier,

Death rules like ruler,

Death derives and drinks tears day by day.

Death confiscates one’s home,

Death snatches one’s husband,

Death collects pen from writer,

Death nukes teeth from tongue.

All what death collected can’t be come by again,

O’ death, who fortifies you this power!

You’ve devastated our flowers on the land,

Where have you taken them to, in gale or on land?

….
