Death Is Patient Poem by Toyiring Sheyin

I breath almost a century, in agony i cried almost unceasingly, come i am ready but death stood by the corner watching from a distance, 'papa your end is near (i smiled) take these pills and kill your pains', but death is what i desire i said, why are you far off? I have dreamt of you in youth, but your shadow was beyond reach, but now i long for you in friendship, dont be coward no not all i plead, for how long can i continue to lay in wait? Oh death why have you been so mild on me? Even in my disobedience your sorrow heart conquered, and now i want thee, come and proof your worth, why havint i been at fault? Dont be patient anymore.
