REST WORDSMITH, REST PHILIP OCHIENG

Poet: Gitau Wa Kung'u.

Mourning is not a wish for anyone,

Yet bereavement is a bile to everyone,

Surely death is a friend to no one,

That we are now so teary for someone,

Rest wordsmith, rest Philip Ochieng.

Will any avid Nation reader forget?

Who can forget your vibes nowhere to beget?

You were a teacher no student can no more get,

You was a success every writer has the target,

Rest wordsmith, rest Philip Ochieng.

Writers, journalists and readers are sad,

That no more shall we read from your pad,

The family doesn't know anything this bad,

Our hearts are now in a sorrowful wad,

Rest wordsmith, rest Philip Ochieng.
