DARLINGTON: We little know you'll die!

by

Clarius Ugwuoha

That harmattan morning you were born
Swarthed up as you were
In the cocoon of childhood
The sun shinning
The wind blowing
We little know you will die so soon
And leave us to mourn

You lay calm upon your infant snug
That flash of innocent smile was there
Your fist clenched, now and then,
Kicked to and fro,
darlington...

You were full of life and warmth
Coarse and rugged like the igneous rock
You grew stout amidst
Storms of illnesses
Lived by your rules
Owned up our crimes
That father beats no one...
Darlington so full of life
You left us so soon
In a deluge of grief.

Mum is shocked,
Father is in grief.
Come back today,
Do you hear - Darlington!
Come back today
That mother may cry no more!
