'The Missing Poem' Poem by Goodenough Sakhile Dlamini

It life began when it ends
New life in the dust reaching edges
Crossing and meeting fragile hearts
Then it encountered the old granny,
who then miss herself in the early 60s
Living under the oppression that not only live in her mind
but in her freedom inside

That keeping closer the shadows of death and fading the light.
It just a fooling itself, the colour of the skin dark or light
but in what I know the light can never be there if there wasn't dark
but the dark can be dark without light, the light light in the dark...
The mission of the missing poem was to bring back hope in dark nation.
It was to remind people that all what exit was created by mankind,
so who are we?
We are those creation of God
Who were sent to rule over the earth not to think we know where heaven is,
remind the gods for that sake.

I think when God creates man was aware of all kinds of thoughts can think of him
Then he limits our thoughts to what it is about him
Then hide the truth in himself so that we will all receive it when we reach him.

The poem was written by a young boy
who thought was opening the gates of his dreams until...
He began to think he was having a wrong key,
when the keys didn't open the gates of his visions
He thought his passion was more than enough to find himself crucified like Jesus...
On his prayers he don't end with amen
Because not even single day where he finish praying
All day long thinking about his poem went missing...
His mind and soul was on his poem but not remembering even the single word of it...
The poem was written in tears of his sick mother who has a hope from his son...
Poem depicted of what will happen before the set of the sun

The poem came across a little humble girl of fourteen years,
who lost her family in car cratch when she was still on the womb
but luckily doctors manage to save her not the mother
She was playing in the street with friends.
Unconsciously she pick the piece of paper...
Looking on the scripture for a moment,
she then disappear from their eyes to her room,

She was adopted by rich family who promised to take care of her...
but the truth they told her...
Makes her think sometimes and watch every move they making towards her...
She was clever enough to read the situations...
She wear glasses with the thick layers, Christian cross in her neck....
blazer in school and always with books and pencil case in her hand
Not forgetting her big heavy bag in her back...

A lone in her room she began crying...
Her tears dropped one by one in a sequence towards the piece of paper...
She then ask herself, did God love me enough to save only me in the family?
Did God thought about my happiness when he let me leave alone?
The missing poem was still on table she was about to read the last stanza
when her half young sister walk in...
She hides the poem on her books not to be retrieved by anyone...
She carries it whenever she is going to school....or elsewhere

Years and years pass on
She had be trying to find the writer of the poem about fifteen years
She gave this poem a new title 'The missing poem' by anonymous...
She recited it on poetry sessions, shows, radio stations, television
for hope of getting the writer,
because she knew she can able to I identify the owner by one or two words...
She became well-known with it...leaving people crying
but smiling at the same time what a confusion
She didn't need money she had enough of it she had a great job...
Offer sides by sides, all the money that she got from this poem,
she had been keeping it in this box.
The box was printed outside 'The missing poem' by anonymous
The poem was getting bigger and bigger local, to national, national to international....

The boy who lost his poem fifteen years ago was in hospital for his dying mother
who have been in hospital for fifteen years
when he heard the last lines of the poem in the radio poetry time and
began remembering his poem...
Without wasting time he called the girl since she left her number...
The girl believe that the poem was written by him
because of the last two lines that she didn't write on the new copy
to find the real writer with them...

She immediately went to the hospital where the boy was with her mother...
He then tell her all the story about the poem,
her mother was wild awake the boy was surprise,
she had been sleeping like this for years
his mother said ' my son I was waiting for this day,
now I will be relieved that you have found your keys to your vision
take care of your loves one and yourself'
machines went off his mother's destiny was reached
the God bells has rang for the last time for her...
Unfortunately the girl was also involved in the car accident
in her way back home...

The boy was only left with the poem and
all fortunes the poems has made but all the people he loves wasn't with him...
The last lines of the poem was written as: God can give you happiness
God can bring you in this world to suffer for the happiness of others...
He don't suddenly reply on prayers but eventually he will in future time...
The missing poem...
