JAMB - Literature In English (2003 - No. 4)

'I am informed the day recycles itself today
when I slept in the Lord in February
I blame no one for an untimely death
I bless Good for a noble departure-His words
The lord taketh the righteous away before evil days

The persona in the poem appears happy to have died
a noble death
during the day
at an old age
an untimely death
