A Dirge for Pius -Rasheed Adebiyi

If I go when it is my time to leave, would I have done enough to write my name on the sands of time?

If I go when it is my time to leave, would I have done enough to secure my place in the bliss of the hereafter?

If I exit when it is my time to leave, would I have completed the towers of earthly development I am sent to build?

For every soul has its own calling. I know mine. I am not sure of yours.

But whatever it is your calling is, do urgently and diligently.
For no one knows the tick of the minute.

Every soul shall taste death!

It is the highest calling we all must bid.

It was your time to go home, Pius.

The death you escaped on land, you met in the air!

Rest now, Prof.
