They suddenly heard "Thief! Thief!! Thief!!!"
And rushed out, and joined the mob.
Their ruthlessness has caused me great grief:
Dawn and dusk, day and night, I sob!
He had been sent on a national assignment;
Yet was slayed like a criminal because of a pistol.
Isn't the Rule of Law the basic requirement?
So why couldn't the Rule of Law for him, wrestle?
You are wicked: you have killed an innocent soul!
Did you think twice before throwing the stone?
You are stupid: you burnt him from hair to sole!
Did you ever think of leaving this patroit alone?
See his young nuclear family: see his wife.
See his young, thriving innocent kids!
Now that you have foolishly taken his life,
Who will put on their foreheads, kiss?
Now listen, you ruthless, senseless killers!
You've had a serious case with the whole of Ghana!
Listen to me, all you lawless blood-spillers!
The law will handle you all in the strictest manner!
My condolence to the Military, and his family:
May the Lord wipe away all your tears.
When you miss him, may you miss him merrily.
May God give his children many years.
Rest In Peace, Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama!
Your patriotism was never feint!
Kudos! for your brave toils for Mother Ghana!
Rest In Perfect Peace, Old saint!
I CURSE INSTANT JUSTICE!
I CURSE MOB ACTION!
I CURSE ALL THE KILLERS OF CAPTAIN!
Amen...
ISAAC ESSOUN
