WHY SO SOON CUTTING OFF THE FRIENDSHIP?

*WHY SO SOON CUTTING OFF THE FRIENDSHIP*
Life is too short, we fighting for nothing,
Time is so gone, we worry about nothing.
Two years ago we committed to this service,
First, we were doubted but we proved fit.
Trending, Happening Now! Where is the Profit?
Silent forever are those urging voices, "Check your Whatsapp Ayuba" "Registrar wants this out" "This must go into the papers"
"Ok, sir" I would always respond.
Njala University everywhere, every day, you made the night light.
Knowing you more, I realized the need for money.
Family members always keep knocking.
I remember those consoling voices telling me never to give up,
Even when I am silent, you told me to speak up,
Not to be distracted, you told me to focus,
The news about your death was shocking,
After days ago you assured me of your healing,
The illness you suffered was excruciating,
But God gives and he has taken.
The impact you made, will forever live on.
Death indeed is a lesson to all.
*Rest in Peace, boss.*
*May God Forgive your sins and grant you paradise*
*By Ayuba Koroma, Public Relations Assistant, Njala University*
