Statistics Poem by Elias Ng'ang'a K.

what happened to the no matter what part?
What happened to the part you said, 'I will forever have your back'?
How did you change the words for richer for poorer?
Why couldn't you hold on to me in sickness?
At the expense of time and race for fortunes
Why did you ever say words you couldn't keep?


Why was it so well said but not well done?
And how time and space can change a human
What happened to the joy and laughter?
We used to have when all was cool
what happened to the coffee, the roses, and the grapes at the mountain top?
Why did you ever say words you couldn't keep?


when did the boat leak to capsize?
When did my eyes fail to see the glory?
When did the bandits crash through the castle gates?
What happened to your big heart, where I used to have a big space?
When did you start to fancy lonely nights
To find solace in thyself
Why did u ever say words you couldnt keep?
