How does one find the right words
To eulogies a young soul
Robbed of it's tender life
What are the right words to be used
To give meaning to the unexplainable,
Beyond belief
Have you ever heard a nation angered
So much the clouds above
Would not thunder
And the lighting
Will dare not break the heavens.
Not this night
There are men
Who have signed thiers away,
Boldly their lives away
If to be young and to die
Let it be on the battle field
By my enemies in a foreign lands
At least with that
I will have my honor,
Let it be known, I am a hero
Let it be by the sword or bullets
Of my enemy,
Let me gladly fall
My wife and children
Deserve that from me,
To die a hero for a cause so great
And have great stories
Told of my adventures
For I am a hero
Let my wife and children
Hold their heads high
Knowing I had a fair fight
And I fought well as a soldier
So well I was honoured
A hero, a brave hero
Let two officers walk to my doorstep
Knock on my door to announce my passing To my family, as it is done with honor.
No, not like this, not by my own
By my own that I have pledged
An oath to protect and defend
No, not by betrayal
Not by a mob crowd striping me
And burning my naked body
With no modesty left
With pictures and videos
On social media going viral
No not like this on friendly soil
No not like this for I am a CAPTAIN
I deserve better in rose cottage
On a dying man's last wish,
I deserve better,
As a legacy
My wife and children
Deserve better
I am a Captain
I am a Captain,
Not to be cheapened and die, murdered
Without my military attire
And with my name tarnished
As a common criminal an armedrobber How dare you, I am a Captain!
I am a Captain of the 5th Battalion,
I am a solidier in the Ghanaian army
I deserve my respect on my dying breathe
I deserve my respect.
I am CAPTAIN MAXWELL ADAM MAHAMA,
Decorated
Captain
And in command
Of the 5TH BATTALION
That is who I am.
A fallen solidier
A decorated Captain, that is who I am
Salute!
