 Eulogy for Journalist Lamin A.DarboeAuthor: Sam Sarr | Date: 21-11-11 | Topic: National News |
| Exactly one year back, news came that journalist Lamin A. Darboe passed away when his What made Darboe's demise so tragic was that it could have been prevented. Yet it was not. As such we are left wondering why the right thing was not done to save the life of a young man who had so much to give to humanity. Above all, we find it so hurting and striking that help did not come forth when Darboe raised a hand signalling prompt action in that decisive moment, while trying to swim to safety. He understood that his life was precious. It was out of this awareness rather than fear of death that made him to break the windscreen in an attempt to spare his life; a life he completely loved and lived intensively. We mourn your demise Yet we celebrate your life We miss your physical presence Yet we feel your ever present spirit of brotherhood We are sad that your selfless service came to an end Yet we are happy that you leave a legacy You were a mortal man Yet your legacy remains immortal You are being shrouded by the dark grave Yet you shine amid the sheer darkness Darkness threatens to consume our world Yet your ideals and the ideals of so many upright men continue to light the world You can no longer speak with us Yet we hear your clarion calls Calls calling us to the path of virtue Calls calling us to see meaning in something greater than ourselves You faced mammoth challenges Yet you gave your all to humanity For humanity you toiled and moiled Yet you chose obscurity You embody the spirit of service Yet you remain unsung In the face of adversity You showed us the path to opportunity In the face of raging storms You gave us courage to weather them In the face of gathering clouds You gave us endurance to buck it In our darkest hours of despondency You gave us hope to see us through In our moments of doubt You gave us abiding faith In times of trouble You gave us strength to move on In times of uncertainty You gave us wisdom to see right |
