DEATH BEGONE, MAN HATES YOU.

Death,
What has man done to you?
Now and then, gun shots are heard, announcing your arrival.
Pots of palmwine are emptied.
Pigs, goats and fowls suffer innocently.
(Cows, for families that are up to the task.)
What has man done to you?
Death, you have taken away Isaac Tita, our Diocesan building technician.
He began the construction of the Church in Binju mission.
The church is not yet completed.
Who will be the next technician to continue from where he ended?
It is true, the saga of life begins in the womb and ends in the tomb.
We know we must go some day.
Why not let us finish our assignments?
Why?
Why didn’t you let Isaac finish his construction in Binju?
Death, go, man hates you.
Go, man hates you.
Farewell Isaac.
Binju-Nkambe Parish will forever remember you.

Afor Bernard.
