The Iroko goes home

The Iroko has fallen!
The rot has begun.
As the scavengers
Lay in wait
For what is left
Of a once great tree!
The Iroko goes home!

Today
Things have fallen apart
Cos they were hit
By an arrow of god
Then things are
No longer at ease
Because a man of the people
Goes home!
The Iroko goes home!

A great man rots
As the lowly man.
But not the rot matters
But the memories!
The Iroko goes home!
