Fate Poem by Kimani wa Mumbi

Fate



Yes, Mama, you heard me right.
'But how did it happen, Son? '
What do you mean, Mama?
Last time I checked there was one major way.
'Are you telling me you messed around with working girls? '
No, Mama, just messed around with some girl I loved.
'But, Son, I cannot lose you. I can't! '
No you won't, Mama. You won't.
'I told you to be careful with the ways of the world, Son.'
And that is what I did, Mama. I tried.
'And...'
And I found that you cannot escape your fate!
'And where is the girl right now, Son?
Did you love her? '
Yes Mama I loved her
But she preferred pushing up daisies.
