NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN (AHAMEFULA)

I will so live So that when I leave Hearts would perceive And men would believe That I truly lived I will so live So that when I leave Minds would conceive The fact that I did give Lives would be relieved For burdens that got lifts I will so live So that what I achieve Would live after I leave I will so live So that when I leave They would say I once was here Even sands shall declare And walls too, shall say That I stayed and shared The tender voice of the air Shall blast that I did care My name shall not be erased From the history scroll of fame With golden pen it shall be written My deeds won't easily be forgotten. With no stress, it shall be traced Every lip shall retain my name My name shall not be lost My fame not covered in dust Both in dawn or in dusk People in shops or kiosks Shall speak of me of course People in churches of mosques Shall speak of me of course My story shall be a tale Which generations shall tell It shall be passed down the rail Of off-springing boys and girls My tale shall always ring a bell My name shall not rot in hell We would all someday leave For this end we should live In such a way that we leave Behind what can outlive Our living and what we achieved ©️ Christian Chidozie Okoro
