It's Sad to Say Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by umar, Nigeria Sep 4, 2004
Education   Poetry

  

Few years back
We were called from our various abodes
Having diverse codes of conduct
To congregate as a single class
And share a common knowledge
Hence the beginning of our odyssey

As we sail along
Some were missing en route
Challenges, many encountered
To some, a lot of obstacles
And for others, not even an "E"
Nor a "carry-over"
Nature's inevitable routine
That's how we managed to move

Amongst our colleagues
Various characters we have
Intelligent and controversial
Political and ambitious
Jovial and humorous
Like the "Kootees" and the "Abels"
The "Gajams" and the "Chukkols"
Just to mention but a few

A house full of courage
I hear people say:
"The optimists see the doughnut
While the pessimists see the hole"
In us, I see optimism
For despite been procrastinated
We maintained a firm attitude
And respect for one another

Alas! The end has come
A moment we've anticipated with alacrity
For time is but a mere shadow
How fast it darts like an arrow
It is sad to say
A friend must part from a friend
Though we must physically part
Together we shall remain in spirit

We are one big family
Our friendship shall never grow old
For one another we must forgive
And remain together as long as we live
Because only God knows where again we may meet
But never in "Cils" or “Law Theatre"
Rather some place further

We shall miss one another.
