The Last Minutes!
I thought I was in a state of hallucination
When my figure 2 in three places equals 7
What if the expected time has appeared?
Nearer than the long distance I was looking forward to
To you that occupies the earth
To you that walks on earth with pride!
And you who thinks the time reins eternally
Come closer and be reminded of the last minutes
Maybe I ought to say an hour instead of
Proliferation of minutes
I remember the night I received the news of the nice
Man's farewell to this world
The man we said goodbye to each other before departing
The man that we had an agreement to meet at this time to fix our
Grievances;
The man who never knew yesterday was his exit
Permission from you to
Stand on your feet from your seat
Stay like that for few minutes
Go back to your seat and have a deep breath
To have a total submission and prostration of gratitude
To have a fresh mind for the
Continuation of jobs well done
Home and abroad, local and universal
Know that the end is near
Just like the way your hands are not far to your mouth at the dinning table
The last minutes we give the last breath
The last minutes we obey the call
The last minutes we see the invisible
The last time I thought of breakfast
I didn't deny it's a national cake because
The last minutes is a time for you and me
Display the sense of its quest
Manage to embrace it with pleasure
Be hopeful to meet your Lord with a smile
The last minutes shall be favorable
And when the time approaches
May we be favored not to panic
May our faces be full of light and smile
To meet our Lord
I pray!
