A HERO HAS PASSED
To the streets of the lake city they came,
their lips spoke of only his name.
tribute to a man of great acclaim,
tribute! For a hero had passed.
The air was thick with grief,
tears freely flowed,
great was the unbelief.
and as the hearse rode by they held their breath.
For a hero had passed, he had breathed his last.
The silence broke with the sound of a siren,
announcing the return of a son home.
home after a battle he'd fought,
home after great victories he'd brought.
This land that death has robbed,
sobs its loss, remains with his thought.
and clear a vision,
for others to follow, for better a tomorrow.
Tribute to Dr. Ooko Ooki Ombaka
