Only Then Can I Die Poem by Favour Chinemerem Ugwumba

I will never die
Even when all I have worked for crumbles
I will never die
Even when fate decides
I will never die
Even when my divinity is threatened
I will never die
Even when am just a mere memory
I will never die
Even when hope is lost
I will never die
Even when am buried beneath the earth
I will never die
Even when Death comes
I will never die
Even when you want me to

I can only die if
my name leaves your lips
I can only die if
you forget my memory
I can only die if
your heart has buried me
I can only die if
your mind has disowned me
I can only die if
you and the wold forgets me
I can only die if
you murder my legacy
I can only die if
you abandon our past
Only then can I Die.
