THE STAR

  BY    MUSSIE     BEKIT

The star, MR  , SEYOUM  OGBAMICHAEL, shone so bright

Like an incandescent light

Who fought a good fight

To bring justice and democracy

A new day for all to see

A star so brave

He challenged the roaring wave

And challenged the snake

To strangle it by the neck

And cast him to hell

To never come back again and wake

 He gave his precious sweat ,blood & morrow

And sacrificed his future tomorrow

For the sake of his country fellows

And for that selfless act

We won’t remember him in sorrow

We celebrate his dedication & commitment

And salute him in singing like the sparrow

May he enjoy the peace

He wished for his country

Until we join him

He will live in our memory.

(I dedicated this poem as a concerned individual.)
