I may die young



I think I would die young,
Though, I do not know why.

Only that my heart is not strong:
I feel pains, this is not a lie.

Does it mean my heart is so wrong,
For which I may soon die?

I cannot, into oblivion, be flung;
I do not want my friends to cry!

How can I not, by death, be stung?
I still love life; my hope is high!

Maybe, I should see a doctor, not a dung,
So that he'll tell me how not to die!

what do you say?

Pius Has Pagiel

Fresh and new, and young. Born in a village hospital in Ogidi, Anambra State of Nigeria on Tuesday, 26th September, 1989 to Mr. and Mrs. Pius Nwibo Onwe, who hail from Ndewugo-Inyimagu of IZZI LGA of Ebonyi State. My family name is Onwe Arinze Pius. Pius Has Pagiel is my pen-name. Some very close friends call me Soisese Oinese(meaning Success Onwe in my private language). I passed through Christ the King College, Onitsha and made one of the best results- I was science-inclined, though, I love literature very well. I won the best literature student award in first Senior Secondary School class before I dropped the subject for full science ones. Today, I am a student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Luckily, I am into Architectural Studies, a mixture of Arts and Science. I love it. I wish to be a renown poet and author in the future. I like writers like Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Alfred Lord Tennyson, John Keats, Wilbur Smith and several others. Let's be friends on facebook. Search my profile: Pagiel Pius Has. Mail piushaspagiel@yahoo.com. Thanks. more…
