JOHNSON
(Ikpamfum)

Johnson came home last night,
Went to sleep on his matrimonial bed
And never woke up-
No, he did not wake up.

He did not mind to fly high,
Go against this wind
And try to touch the sky.
He was damn unlucky,
Another fly on the wall,
Not willing to play ball.
As crass impunity filled the air,
Public reactions became clear.

He descended into the jungle,
A horror place of the mysterious
And the unseen.
There was a whisper through the air,
He felt a presence,
This driven man was determined
To tackle the forces of the unknown.
This was pure destiny,
The kind you cannot run away from.

We saw his subtle soul-
And saw through your rugged exterior.
He would now transcend from obscurity
Into legend:
Though countless widows
And orphans will be left behind.
Johnson woke up with a chest pain,
He complained-
He never complained.
They sent him home,
To continue working to his bone.

In the solitary confinement of his room,
He refused to succumb to despair,
His life was a quest to always stand by
His principles and beliefs.
