It’s a given…
From the earth
we came, to the earth we will go
It is just a
matter of time for each of us
Your time
didn’t seem it would be this soon
But we are
here, at least to see you for a last
But why?
Just how far
was your phone
You always
called, you always talked
What could
have made you think we wouldn’t listen
How could you
possibly think it was okay to just go
It’s a given…
The sun might
not raise the same again
Just tiny
sparkles to mend our broken hearts
Leaving us
with nothing but scars
To always
remind us that you were once here
Odhiambo Wuod
Awiti
You didn’t do
right by us
Just when we
thought life was happening
You have sent
us a dark cloud over us
You never left
a script of how to keep up after this
And it’s a
given…
That it will
never be the same without you
We will never
be the same without your aura
That life
after the last drop of soil will be different
Forever empty
except for the memories we had together
I envy the
flowers that will grow atop you
Their roots
will know your soul more than we did
I envy that
they will be in touch with your heart
We will never
know how much pain you felt
Or just how
peaceful this may have been for you
Odhiambo Wuod
Awiti give us a sign
Something to
tell us that we can wait on you
That you are
still amongst us despite the distance
Talk to us son
of the African soil
Tell us if you
need us to avenge this
Go well our brother,
friend, confidant
You lived your
life the best way you deemed
You warmed our
hearts with your undivided love
Young you may
have been, but
You stood by
the things you believed in
As heavy as
this moment may be,
It is well
with our souls
Remember us
even in your new home
Send us your
shining star to watch over us
It is a
given…we shall surely meet again
