ELEGY OF A LOST BROTHER.




You vanished when you blossomed in your prime
Unknown To you, they had planned your extinct
Seeing how callously they wished you journeyed far
You fell for their antics one fateful 17/18 October 2021
While you had gladly merryd among them.
To my naked eyes seeing you lie prostate
I was overwhelmed with rivers of tears
Thought they would washed you ashore back to life
Then it dawned on me it was the final bid
Who would have thought of your flash extinct?
Hearing You speak to the masses on what you love doing
Indeed, man is callously wicked
Sleep well my friend, love and flesh,
Sleep well, steve!
My blood brother, now a memory!
Journey on, dead shepherd, with your parents, sister, uncle and granny.
But don't,  don't let the wicked any iota of peace till they have tasted of their handiwork. 
Journey on,  Steve,. You dead shepherd!

Tsali and Tsala (alias Okomfo kye) were twin brothers. Their father was Togbui Akplormada. These brothers were mysteriously endowed with potent spiritual powers.
