This sad poem is for the nation of the world who in one way or the other has lost their fine military personnel either on air, land or sea.
We mourn the soul of the departed. Light Out of the Tunnel a Tribute Poem to Chief The Hon. Nyong Essien
Green Honour Lowered in the Hill
Piles of paper scattered in the air
To no particular direction it flew
Smokes of death spray away
To the sky it has gone to discolour.
Roars of thunder in September
A brighter Sunday covered in dark sadness
Oh! Sunday of peace, now Sunday of gory sight
What a dark day in our nation’s history.
In a roll call
Air that breath life
Oh! What a dark history in our nation’s life.
Eight Major Generals gone
Two Brigadier Generals gone
Two Wing Commanders gone
One Lt. Col. gone
All gone in the carcass of the NAF 033.
Departed heroes
Match on, match on…
In royal splendor match on
Defender of our nascent democracy
Match on to eternal glory.
