In Memoriam: What I Witnessed
 
A nation in grief,
For a beloved son
A patriot
 
A nation honor,
Honor a man
A family man,
A father
 
I witnessed a nation grieving,
A loss of a victor
A dedicated soul
A friend of all
 
I witnessed love,
For a dedicated one
For a visionary man,
A man of destiny
A man of missions
Able man
And capable for much-more than many
 
I witness a torch,
The brother lit
A torch that must be carried
To further the legacies he anchored
 
I witness a nation, 
Express gratitude with sorrow,
To a man
That broke grounds in virgin land
In a nation hungry for everything
A nation with needs
A nation with limited means 
But, a nation with a dreams and direction
 
I witnessed,
The delivery on that dream 
With zest, brilliance, wit, stealth…
The highest achievements many can’t dream 
Let alone achieve.
 
 
 
I witnessed,
One Eritrean man,
Become a symbol,
A symbol of Eritrean honor
Ensuring The Eritrean pride
 
I witnessed,
In passing,
One man
More than all his achievements in life
Glorify
Eritrean martyrs
And the reasons they passed 
 
I witnessed,
The martyrs assured 
Their passing was not in vain.
By a man who gave value,
To the lives and its qualities 
By achieving a step
A step that ensured the honor
The honor of Eritrean life
 
I witnessed, 
A minister, 
Pass away…….
Untimely passing 
Leaving legacies everywhere and with all
 
But what I witnessed that touched more,
Eritrean life honored by the world
In the way that it should
In contrast to the martyrs that passed 
In contrast,
To those who received no attention 
By the world!
 
May you be honored by the Almighty….
May The Almighty bless his family
 
In honor of His Excellency, Minister Saleh Meki
