Unavailable Friend

Unavailable Friend Where are you my friend? It seems you forgot me Running away when i need you most When am in problems you seem to repel me People love me, when you come near me They always call me, when you are with me With you in me I can get everything I want From friends to commodities even buildings Your presence pushes away hunger and thirst When clinching to me, I can go wherever I want But every time I look for you You seem to leap further away Every morning I wake up to search for you For nineteen years I have been in different schools So that I can learn how to hunt you But you only trickle to me in droplets Not even quenching my thirsty wants Money please I beg you, even if you don’t love me Come near me, Come in form of silent notes Even if you appear as many noisy coins, I promise won’t reject you But please come and relieve me the burden of hustling daily (By Waweru Ngugi)
