Remembered By What We Have Done
Enyi m, how would you be remembered when you bid farewell to this earth:-
as a celebrated thief
like Anini;
as an ex-convict like Ikenna;
as a mass murderer like Adolf Hitler;
as a treasure looter like Sanni Abacha;
as a drug baron like Tinu;
as a national disaster, a failure and a tyrant like Buha?
If Hitler comes back to life,
the Jews would quickly arraign him
before the ICC
for holocaust.
Oliver Cromwell was exhumed
and his bones exposed
as punishment for his role in the Charles 1 saga.
A popular funeral hymn says:
Only remembered by what we have done.
How would you be remembered?
My friend,
How?
How!
How?
About this poem
What memorial would sing your dirge when you depart this earth? Adolf Hitler is remembered as a mass murderer, the man who repaid the Jews for crucifying Jesus Christ. Kurt Wieldham is haunted by the Jews for being in the Nazi army, and could have probably assisted Hilter in his mass murder of the Jews. My friend (enyi m), how would you be remembered when the roll is called yonder? How? Answer for yourself.
