Stephen Okereke Micheal writes

INEVITABLE
.
One day

I shall feed
The vain earth
With the last breath in my lung.
.
I shall pay my debt
To the dust of the earth
And to the sky far above.
I shall return mortal to mortality
And submit immortal before immortality.
.
My soul shall dine
With the owner of souls
And my flesh shall lay not waste
But feed the soil with humus
And bless the earth with fossil fuel.
.
The hearts of loved ones
Shall be clothed in black robes
Tears cascading uncontrollably.
So, shall my soul journey to eternity
.
Before this time
I shall live my life to fullest
Planting my foot print
On every land I shall trend.
