We mourn for you
By chebetcaroline
Daddy, we never knew that hell was breaking loose,
We never knew of the humongous flames,
That licked up your flesh reducing it to lifeless ashes,
Rendering us homeless and grieved with little baby sister amongst the many
We never knew of the chocking smoke,
That Mommy siphoned and left without a bye while looking for you
We never thought of the grieve to loom after you both left
We never knew of the awaiting mystery,
When I was gone to school,
I never knew that was my last time seeing you,
I never knew you were leaving,
I never knew we were to be orphaned with little baby sister,
Though the future seems dark,
With little baby sister’s pestering questions on your whereabouts,
I will try out an explanation that,
You are gone to sweet heaven,
I will try to tell her to learn the wise way of living as you had both said,
I will try to learn from the teacher,
And practice it in our daily living, I will try hard,
Though we will miss you,
We had never known of the disaster to struck,
We had never known of the angels, who wanted to take you from our view,
Through strain we will struggle.
As we gaze at the charred you through our blurred eyes and disintegrated souls,
We mourn.
an unforgetful fire tragedy which left many homeless as others lost their relatives inspired me to write this. What even moved me to tears was the photograpgh which was in the Daily Nation newspaper: there was a little boy, almost the age of three trying i vail to drag her one year old sister. It occured that they never knew if their parents were still alive or not.
