Bullets flying filling the sky
Usually killing some that were not willing to die
Denial, anger , confusion and hate
All part of the emotion when a life is taken away
Her smile would have lit up any room
Her presence would be felt in any room
Her warmth would heat up any room
She was loved by many
She was a loving daughter, sister and Aunt
Her flame was lit on September 3rd 1993
As the years went on her flame grew stronger
Her passion for education fuelled her flame
The warm heat from her flame was felt must by her family and close friends
As her flame continued to grow
Some people who met her would carry a bit of her heat with them
On April 14th 2010 a bullet attempted to extinguish that flame
A bullet that came from a gun, that has caused so much harm
That was shot by a young man with no conscience
For two days I prayed and I hoped
It’s funny how we sometimes only turn to God when we need something
On 16th of April 2010 sadly her flame was no longer burning
Put out by a bullet that came from a gun
That was fired by a young man with no conscience
As the tears rolled down my face for the first time in a long time
Thinking about the pain of her family that will never be healed
The pain I saw in her mother’s eyes, should not be felt by any mother
The type of pain that would leave you numb
The type of pain of pain that leaved you broken
The type of pain of knowing this void will never be filled
The type of pain that words cannot simply describe
The truth is that bullet might have taken something away
But her flame still burns brightly to everyone that genuinely cared for her
It is her ever burning flame that I feel that keeps me motivated to do what I do
To teach, educate and pass on knowledge
Like my friend Dele said to help change the mindset so the mind is set
To achieve real change
MAY HER BEAUTIFUL FLAME CONTINUE TO BURN
REST IN PEACE
AGNES
