In Memoriam What I Witnessed

In Memoriam: What I Witnessed

A nation in grief, For a beloved son A patriot

A nation honor, Honor a man A family man, A father

I witnessed a nation grieving, A loss of a victor A dedicated soul A friend of all

I witnessed love, For a dedicated one For a visionary man, A man of destiny A man of missions Able man And capable for much-more than many

I witness a torch, The brother lit A torch that must be carried To further the legacies he anchored

I witness a nation, Express gratitude with sorrow, To a man That broke grounds in virgin land In a nation hungry for everything A nation with needs A nation with limited means But, a nation with a dreams and direction

I witnessed, The delivery on that dream With zest, brilliance, wit, stealth… The highest achievements many can’t dream Let alone achieve. I witnessed, One Eritrean man, Become a symbol, A symbol of Eritrean honor Ensuring The Eritrean pride

I witnessed, In passing, One man More than all his achievements in life Glorify Eritrean martyrs And the reasons they passed

I witnessed, The martyrs assured Their passing was not in vain. By a man who gave value, To the lives and its qualities By achieving a step A step that ensured the honor The honor of Eritrean life

I witnessed, A minister, Pass away……. Untimely passing Leaving legacies everywhere and with all

But what I witnessed that touched more, Eritrean life honored by the world In the way that it should In contrast to the martyrs that passed In contrast, To those who received no attention By the world!

May you be honored by the Almighty…. May The Almighty bless his family

In honor of His Excellency, Minister Saleh Meki
