The Newswriter For Timeless
Dedicated to my Publisher,
The Publisher of The Newswriter
The Newswriter is for timeless,
I will not go the way of others
Who fidget and phase out at will
Even if I tarry, I last for tomorrow
Because Kenneth Amapibi has sacrificed
Sleeplessness, hardwork to seal its deal
The passage of time for good future
Real good, never to be given to
Time and the future all collaborates
To sustain my stability in the controversy
Generated by The Newswriter
The moving train in the paper family
Just yesterday, I was neglected
To their folly for me to gain upper hand
Have come to stay like the constant star
The unshakeable of all times
Yes, I stare the competition
To mock my bitter experience
When Kenneth slept in the office
Little did I start for laughter
To be query to make me last
When I show up in the paper stands
With the effort of Kenneth Amabipi
Allanso Jonathan Allanso Allanso and others
Never will I sleep a day
Time is of essence
Even as challenging as the terrain is
The working will of other pens
Efforts, collective management input
Will forever be rewarded for good
For my readers not to be disappointed
Thursday is my meeting date
7 am sees me in the collection center
Because Kenneth had done his job welldone
I last not as garri in the market
I stay focused prepared not to bow out
Not even without finance
The working staff are blessing
A people of sound minds
Hardworking youngmen
Best they go all the way
As they strive for the best
For their future
In the sands of times
History to reckon with them
Posterity never will question
The noble minds of fame
The authority is the will
Yes, the will of Kenneth Amabipi
But is there any place for failure
For a family of crack reporters as The Newswriter
By the authority of journalism
Kenneth paid the ultimate price
For the Newswriter to stay afloat
Even as the wave of jealousy
Against the Newswriter
Time and hardwork tell the story
Kenneth Amabipi took it all
Bear all abuses to emerge victor
At last, The Newswriter
The most wanted local tabloid
Amongst it challenging counterparts
Kenneth Amabipi dogmatically did
Offer himself like the sacrificial lamb
Just for the Newswriter to stay afloat
What a life he lived, against all odds
Life and death reconciled
For Kenneth Amabipi to bow out
When the ovation is loudest
No more will the Newswriter lack
Forever will recognition beg The Newswriter
You have gone, gone for good
Though you did not say bye
My boss, forever will I keep up the tempo
Adieu my publisher
Farewell my friend
Till we meet to part no more
By Allanso Jonathan Allanso
