Salute to the General!

Omooba Samuel Sosanya

By Ibrahim Apekhade Yusuf

Like clothes, men come in different shapes and sizes

Some are naturally born great

Few command greatness

Others have greatness thrust on them

But ‘it’s rare to find someone who possesses all forms of greatness

Blessed is he so wonderfully made, so naturally favoured!

Indeed Omooba Samuel Olumuyiwa Abayomi Sosanya remains so naturally favoured!

Salute to the General

A man cut from a fine royal fibre and timber

The world was naturally his oyster

Yet he shunned vainglory and luxury

To chart path even angels feared to tread

He led his army to a battle he came perilously close to losing

They tried; yes they tried to have him canned

Like a piece of garbage in a CAN!

They made him suffer lots of privations

Just so he would recant

But like a true General with a courage of conviction

He soldiered on, ever fighting, ever winning!

They said, ‘No you can’t do that, you can’t do this. We won’t let you! ‘

Fearlessly courageous, he stood pat with them.

Like a true General fighting the battle of his life, he charged back:

‘No you can’t stop me I. C. A. N

I’ll win this battle:

‘For good will always triumph over evil.’

Battle’s over now, thanks to the General

Salute to the General!
