The cheerful, bubbly man?
The one that catches attention?
Yes, the angels took him away,
And we're too shook, to ask, why?
Mr. Mattias Hamo was a man of immense stature, of tremendous timbre and calibre. The last time I saw him was in 2017 when he gave me a lift and some pocket change. He was a frugal man.

His wife was was a senior colleague and elder to me.

He will be greatly missed.

ME.
I have offended many,
That did not deserve any apology,
And attracted a few,
With loveless methodology.

I'd rather not doubt,
Your good intentions,
Even ignore my perceptions,
Of what you're truly about.

Rebellion is a her middle name,
She demands special rights in the game,
If you disregard her serpentine frame,
The all you get is a walk of shame.

For this could be the last,
Time, I hold you, mother,
So, let none put asunder,
This love, in blood cast.
My mother suffered a mild stroke six months after my father died in 2016, they were married forty-six years. She'll be seventy years old in year twenty-twenty.

She is with me presently to help with her newborn grandson as is the Yoruba tradition.

It's always a dicey situation with her around because of her strong beliefs and strictness. None of which my wife will have.

Our voices will be heard,
Your handmade fences can't stop us,
You may come with your galactic force,
But our will cut through your thick head.

Tarry, oh young love,
For thine heart, I see pure,
But make haste, for time abideth not,
The grave is a cold, lonely place.
