The Visitor by Khadijah Gbolagade

The Visitor



He is everybody’s enemy
Just a few expect him
Sometimes he comes out of nowhere
But some other times, he could play fair

Once I heard the visitor has come
This time he paid a visit close to me 
He had come to see my father’s mother 
I really wanted to bother
Because of the pain I saw in the eye of my father 

Normally, after a visitor visits 
He takes his leave, being explicit 
But this visitor might be different
Because a normal visitor is being escorted 
But this visitor didn’t want to be escorted 
And so he instead took her along 

Most but not all say he was sent on an errand 
For he has boss 
Many of all feel the visitor is cruel 
Goodness knows why I feel not 

I really hope when I see my visitor 
I am as ready as a radiator 
For as I never mourned her 
I am in return never mourned 
But only backed with good wishes 

The wailing and noisy sound of mourning 
Only makes the visitor happy 
Thus, wants to do more 
I think wailing is bore 
And the one taken by visitor
My good wishes are always with her
