THE FACES I KNEW by Adebanji Koiki

The faces that looked upon me
The voices that sang lullaby
The hands that tickled me
They're all gone with the wind

Silently I listened and watched
First came the news, then the holes
Silently I listened and watched
News of babies, then they grow

These faces are all new
They look upon me now, waiting
Tomorrow, they shall speak thesame of me
Then I shall be beneath the earth

With the faces I knew.
