FAREWELL, ANGELIC AMAZON



Night stole its way home to us
and you jolted awake to light up its darkness
And make it turn to day
But underneath its cloak mortal pangs
that ´s come with loads of pains  
waiting to heap them on all of us
while we snore away in the deep of the night

you cared so much and opted to cure
an unfortunate victim of a deadly disease;
the very messenger that death had chosen arbitrarily,
you touched with your tender hands
the same that´s restored life to others
when hopes had long been obliterated.

caring for the sick
And uncaring about the danger
that hides behind the Ebola
but unknown to you Ebola loathes love and care
And like hate,
kills only those who care and share.

The messenger falls flat
And soon the doctor falls sick,
no cure, no care…. 
just a strange concern
as days came and went by
and suddenly your caring hands became frozen,
your eyes went to a heroine sleep;
where great names are engraved on ageless rocks
that will stand the test of time


Farewell, Dr Ameyo Adadevoh for intercepting the death meant for all of us.
Farewell, our angelic amazon.
