Their bones may lie cold in the bowels of earth
Yet titans never die
No grave is deep enough to conceal their good deeds
They will forever steal moments in our minds
Their names are tattooed on our tongues
Their spirits shall forever resonates with time
Because shallow are their graves
They could not gag their mouths
They still walk amongst men
Talk to the attentive silence of our minds
Titans never die
It is but a lie
Are these not their words spoken?
How come they are still mentioned?
Even though tears have long dried
Chinua Achebe is not dead
Neither did he fell apart, he is at ease
Armed with the arrow of God
He's still the man of the people
Ant hills of the Savannah have echoed
