Oh Death Poem by Tony Adah

Oh Death



I can see the thin
Dividing line between
Death and existence
Raymond's quintescent exit
True to type bore
Me witness here
When at night prep time,
The lights went off and on
In 2A of County council school,
No one knew the class
Would be less than one mate in a jiffy.
A huge joke didn't escape a bad fall
In which the foul miasma of death
Swept him away,
His cloud of life hardly
Rising in the room.
This is the mystery of life
Living now and very quickly too
Soon a vapor.
