In Silence I cry (Prof. Kofi Awoonor)

When the wind of sorrow blow

The pain of separation dents our hearts 

Because our loved ones have been sacrificed to the angel of death

Taken away the breath of our wealth

Prof. Kofi Awoonor

We thirst and hunger for your creative ideas

 But they only remain history left in books
A true son of the land

Hearts yearn for the sincerity of your true affection

But you lie in peace near your home

A life well lived

In Silence I Cry

[A poem in honor of the late Prof. Kofi Awoonor]
