IT WAS TEMPORARY

Wanjohi P. Mugambi

Change came, change appeared

Chances were now minimal

The flowering youthtime said goodbye

Chancefulness was no longer present

The sun had set

Nothing was just as it was

Despite the talks and chances of life

They cried

Praying the rising of the sun to appear

Yet it was too late

 

It was temporal

What they tried to rush for all that while

Yes they cherished that which was just as chasing the wind

The Holy Book says so

It’s all vanity

Yet they didn’t see it

Change came, change appeared

They cried

Praying for the rising of the sun to appear

Yet it was too late

The damsels went forth

Worthwhile for the beauty of their bodies

Fearing to late their mate

Changing the color and the size

Not knowing it was temporal

For them that were natural were choosen

Change came, change appeared

They cried

Praying for the rising of the sun to appear

Yet it was too late

 

Long was the vision they desired

To start a life full of happiness

But the wrong motive of each other destroyed everything

The hardwork

The life of men

Soon as more seemly

Change came, change appeared

And to them it was crying

Yet it was too late

It was the fate

The fate of the hands achieving

The lazy kings and queens in their kingdom

That brought the snatching of them

Change came, change appeared

They cried

And nothing could be done

For it was too late.
