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.
