Mystery 2 Poem by amarachi Ossaji

When we come to the world
We're welcomed with celebrations.
Morning passes;
We're toddlers, learning to walk
we have friends and family that shower is with love.
Then comes afternoon;
We're now teenagers and adults,
then life gives us her bitter side to chew.
often times we make decisions,
some favour us; some taunt us
Things become bittersweet and we cry out for help.
'We'll seek solution' one of us says.
'I'll go to the Alfa; you to church
You to the shrine'
We do all these things just to be successful.
And when evening comes;
We sit with our children and grandchildren
These young ones we suffered for, so they wouldn't experience what we did.
We have become too old to do what we used to back in the days.
And then we leave this world at night;
Those we love gather around one last time,
To kiss us goodbye
and then comes the big question
'WHY? '
