Ode To Kenneth Maduma

God granted Kenneth Maduma a master’s voiceA genuinely authentic deep voice that captivated those he barely knewHis livelihood relied solely on words delivered with sonorous resonanceIntricately woven into a being of energy, his voice offered refugeAnd a reason to find joy on this earthHis master’s voice resonated throughout the nationInforming humanity of the events occurring across the globePeople everywhere listened, the deep voice resonating both day and nightThey heard it in public spaces and on the streetsEveryone was aware of his master’s voiceThat was its purpose, to be heardYet tomorrow begins without the deep voiceAs Kenneth Maduma has peacefully transitioned into the good nightHe has journeyed far into the realm of silenceWhere he has laid his master’s voice to eternal restMany days ahead may fall silentAs the great years pass by with patience,The deep voice will continue to echo in the left and right ear.Rest in peace, my dear friend; you imparted the importance of being silent and still.
