How many people can recognize me? How many know my songs?
How many are in love with me? How many hide this truth?
How many miss me every minute? How many wait till a year?
How many of them don’t care at all? Can they all write on my wall.
Life is short but love is vast, so stories stay beyond,
For pride they hoard, waiting for the end.
Watch a man living, the streets see him pass,
Break his death in news, you’ll see their love flow.
Lesson for the living, learned from the dead,
Show your friends you love them, while their breaths last.
Don’t be scared of ‘I love you’, tell them when you miss,
One day you will scream it high, their body will never hear.
Live this life like a story, make a chapter a day,
End every line with HEAVEN, in case God calls your line.
Do good by the way side, the drunkards there await,
One day they’ll drink in your name, with tales of what you did.
How many people can recognize me? How many know my songs?
Life is short but love is vast, so are stories that stay beyond,
Lesson for the living, learned from the dead,
Live this life like a story, make a chapter a day.
Dedicated to a friend and brother who has fallen Prince Noel Tochukwu Unegbu. Rest in peace brother
