Brother John Poem by Koffi B Sossou

Brother John

Rating: 5.0

You were deathly ill and grew bonier and bonier
Almost deaf and dumb, and could only mime
and I thought it was a dream

And with a big sigh and a deep breath,
You were pitilessly gone forever with death.
But tonight, in my dream you appeared in wealth

Healthy and happy, Brother John
May this image of you be real, Brother John!
Until we meet again where the sun shines forever.
