She did not deserve this

The late Elsworth Bemhura

a young woman with a soft voice
whose softness equaled to wool
talented with a rare voice
speaking her mind out in poetry
recreating life in stories and film
so touching and soothing
how could she go this way
violently taken by an accident
a bus accident due to some foolish driver's
misjudgement of a corner
oh, she did not deserve this violence!
