Poem: Like a meteor

Tolulope Arotile

By Goke Okeowo

She came, she saw

She conquered the world

All in the space of 24 years!

Miserable, sly, hideous Death

How mean can you get!

If you must pluck her

So untimely from her proud nation

Even from her prouder parents

Why not through a heroic

And dignifying aerial Combat

Against the forces of darkness?

Dastardly, manipulative leviathan

Why this cruelly, this cheaply?!

YOU – Tolulope Arotile

YOU – First Female Nigerian

Combat Chopper Pilot

YOU – Candle in the wind

YOU – The Triumphant

YOU – THE METEOR!

Rest on in His bosom.
