GONE SO FAST
I've heard a clamour far from home
A well-known hometown for been peaceful
Fears of curiosity caught me thinking
Thinking about the exihibited event with turbulent
What could that be ?
In response , I ran further towards the clamour
Only to discover gathered multitude in discussion
Bewilderment tattered my expectations
As I drew near the whispering group
Sitted creating oval shape like ancestors
I passed them by like a wimp
As if I was caught smarty in a dump
Eloqueted my mind for a while
Yet welcomed with uncountless shoes at the door
Instantly , mind liberation vanished
Taking my first step indoors
Received by a strange scent of vomit
Astonishment blurred my sight
Hence rushing to check up on him
As he groans deeply in grief
How can that be ?
Yet left him giggling with excitement
There sitted outside the apartment
Now returned finding him bed-ridden
As if he contains diseases hidden
Now to my bed-riddened brother
Etiolated with unknown conjurer
Skin paled in no time
Shrinkled his face like a wilting flora
Body temperature heating like solar
Raised his hand in benignant act
Touched my shoulder in stream of tears
Groaned and stared at me
Finally exhaled all he had
Cold detached him from the breath of life
Emotions began to lit previous moments
Regretting every moment we argued
Now left walking in the rain of tears
Yet elapsed without saying goodbye
I keep on asking why
WHY GONE SO FAST.
