President J.E.A. Mills (1944 – 2012) - Kyilleh Dominic Arituo

He rests here in a dreamless sleep,
And his lovers shudder and weep.
Today, we call him late
And dread about our fate –
Your tears, if you wouldn’t share keep.



Kyilleh Dominic Arituo was born in Fielmua, Sissala West District. He is currently enrolled in B.A. studies at Valley View University.
