Kosonike-Koso-Thomas
By Raymond de’Souza George, Freetown, Sierra Leone
Poetry moves on
into eternity,
Race of life, well run;
Organizer of minds
and intellects,
Fuel of creativity
in the University.
Educator of no
mean stature,
Sierra Leone says,
THANKS!
Service with diligence
and passion,
Over decades, you
dispensed;
Rest from your labours,
your legacy lives on.
Enthusiasm
under quiet control,
Many of your protégées
saw you display.
Energy, excellence
and empathy,
Reeled off your
technical mind.
Industrious investor,
even to the very end,
Tailoring minds and
hearts for posterity;
Ultimate mentor
of Engineers,
Sierra Leone will stay
proud of your sojourn.
Kosonike Koso-Thomas
One of a kind,
as nature intended;
Sold out to
Engineering and Art,
Outstanding,
incisive and prolific.
Nature’s donation
to Sierra Leone,
Inovator with ideas,
words and substance;
Kingly aura and
presence on campus,
Engineering must now
go on without you.
Kosonike Koso-Thomas,
Out of physical circulation
you’ve gone,
Secured, however,in
the minds of mentees,
Over coming generations,
to share your essence.
To the world you made
our nation known,
Honouring the
green, white and blue.
One people,
your dream,
in one country,
May time enable us
to mould.
Academia’s gift
to grateful generations,
Sierra Leone,
the eternal beneficiary.
REST IN PEACE. (PR)
Raymond E. D. de’Souza George
