Kofi Awoonor, one of Africa's leading poets, was among the dead in the Kenyan Mall terrorist attack. The mournful dirge of Awoonor's "Song of Sorrow," which I read in high school in Cameroon, is now to be song for him. Let us praise him for singing the sorrows of many and helping us sing his own.

Thank you Professor Ngong.
I read the poem; it is most mesmerizing, haunting, sad, beautiful.

Prof. Ngong, I already posted to say that I read the wonderful poem "Song of Sorrow" but all this technology is very complicated! :)
