Iku!
Iba to those who,
Whether aged or not,
Have left this side!
Those of us remaining,
Whether we like
Or we don’t
Must surely answer
Your call!
Alumuntu
We do detest you;
You’re a mystery;
You don’t indulge
In bribery!
If not, the wealthy
Would have killed
You, with riches!
Iku
You really don’t
Care!
About someone’s health
Or unhealth!
About their wealth
Or unwealth!
About age
Or unage!
About dress
Or undress!
Alumuntu!
To Rasheed!
How did it happen?
You traveled down!
Was it premonition?
Well, you’ve answered
The grim reaper
Who are we
To question?
Sun re o!
