Abba Kyari (Poem by Busy Brain)

Abba Kyari, 

Days ago, you were  alive

in  pains caused by your positive status.

In Isolation,  you could not survive 

the sting of the pandemic virus.

What a pity, you lost the battle 

at war front with deadly Corona

while your 'Chief of Staff' mantle 

could not follow you to the lonely corner.

Abba Kyari, 

You are now a missing script in Aso Rock

as  Buhari endures your death with a shock.

Even though no one could restore your health, 

For your country, you died a valorous death.

Tell God, you are a Nigerian, 

The abode of greedy politicians.

Tell God you came from a Country

that keeps one's flaws in the memory.

Abba Kyari, 

Your soul is on errand to the sky, 

And your office would  be occupied by good greedy guy.

Oh,  I wish these  greedy men  reason

that death turns around like  season.

You played your part before you depart

In administration where things keep fallen  apart.

Your wish is to be alive, 

but God says you would not survive.

Abba Kyari, 

Mind not the villains claiming you are bad.

Mind not the friendly foes pretending to be sad.

Where you are, no one can peep. 

But, what you sow, you shall reap.

Abba Kyari, 

After your death, we begrudge, 

But none is qualified to be your judge.

Here is my condolence piece, 

May your soul continue to rest in perfect peace.
