J.B ODHIAMBO: A tribute

You were the blazing wind
That swept the savannah
Singing relentlessly
To the suppleness
Of tender blades

You were the sun's rays
That permeated
The thick undergrowth
Of childhood vanities
Our forested ignorance
You mowed down with ease

I salute you, my redemptor
I salute dedication to a cause
And curse the cunny fate
That led you to vanity

You were the star
That led the flock
To the evergreen mangers
Of the academia
You were the lone oasis
A rejuvenation to all
I owe my all to you
Great shepherd
Head shepherd

Though gone
We shall pass the dreams
We must uphold in your memory
The simplicity and dedication
Even to the hills yonder
For the generations to come

Teacher;
May you realise
Even in your distant presence
That you are never alone
In your humble abode
That the brightness of your soul
Will forever connect us
You and Us
With the eternal rhythm
Of universal peace

Eternally
