JOEBICHI
By Jude Onwe

Here we are,
But thou art gone.
They said you had cancer
And millions you have not.
We collected together our kobos
We found it in the hollows.
We looked up to them
but they were blind
And come corona all doors shut
They came from Cyrene Simons to help.
Then the director called, cut!
And you ceased to be.
They too were here
but thou art gone.
