I am striking you
Out of my address book,
Not willingly,
But for the higher regulator
Has called you to the highest home
We all long for
but go to unwillingly.
I can't striking you out of my heart,
For the favour of the tutelage,
Making a protégé of me
Without knowing the bird that birth me
On the sheer recommendation of your daughter.
Shared passion and ideas,
Shared revolt,
Shared information,
Shared celebration,
She shielded me,
She moulded me,
What else can I expect?
May you find rest,
May your labour yield abundant fruits,
For all your protégé,
I can't strike out the grief.
Adieu Mama Dupe Omole!
