GREEN

Ooyindamola 2002 (Kwara)

Free verse
I saw the stillness on Grandma's face
The peace
She had gone to be with the Lord or maybe the devil
Or maybe she was just gone
Like the glitch,science predicted
I looked around the room
Everyone was crying,wailing,sobbing
I wasn't
Like waves in a ocean,it hit me
I felt an emotion that scared me
Envy
