<p>In your 68 years of existence, you were reduced to a nonentity, you were ridiculed<br> They created a platform for boys and girls<br> Young enough to be your children and grand children to insult and mimic<br> Your greatest achievement was not the development<br> But your ability to resist the temptation to reply</p>
<p>On your day you were installed<br> Your death drums sounded congratulations<br> Your very enemies hugged and smiled<br> Did you know the smiles were mere grins?<br> Yes you did. But typical Mills, you for forgave and forgot</p>
<p>Politicians, market women, school children<br> All of us became doctors, giving commentary on your health<br> Were you different from humans, Oh no!<br> Why then was your cough taken as death symptom<br> Your ailment was more psychological than physiological</p>
<p>Where! Where!! Where!!! In your chest room?<br> Did you house all those insults, humiliations and revilements?<br> Yesterday I saw your picture prior the presidency<br> Never knew you were that fat and healthy<br> Ooh I flooded with tears; the seat was made bitter for you</p>
<p>Wake up! Wake up!! Wake up!!!<br> Or open your eyes and ears. Look and listen six feet up<br> Your demise has now earned you a better Atta #Mills<br> Now they call you king of peace dubbed ”Asomdwe hene”<br> Now your history is written in golden colors</p>
<p>The mad man knocked down on the street<br> Now shares same soil bed with you<br> Did he ask you this question?<br> “Don’t you think they killed you?”<br> The usual Mills, you will laugh with no answer</p>
<p>Lest I forget, Naadu is doing just fine. Yes she <a class="zem_slink" title="Tears" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">wept</a> tears<br> Now her eyes hold the better #<a class="zem_slink" title="Ghana" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=5.55,-0.25&;spn=10.0,10.0&;q=5.55,-0.25%20(Ghana)&;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Ghana</a> agenda<br> She is planting the #<a class="zem_slink" title="Holy Bible: 10th Anniversary Edition" href="http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Manic-Street-Preachers/dp/B000666VKQ%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000666VKQ" target="_blank" rel="amazon">Bible</a> in SHS across the Country<br> We are all fine, preparing to meet you in heaven<br> You still remain my <a class="zem_slink" title="President of the United States" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">President</a>!</p>
