When the Loss Is Ineffable

When the Loss is Ineffable!
By Jean Bosco SIBOMANA

Win-lose game occurs in many situations
And bargainers made it a standard saying
When involved in various negotiations
To come up with a common understanding 

We lose property and it seems normal
We lose money and this is at least bearable
We lose friends and it becomes abnormal
But losing a one’s mum is truly unendurable

Mother means a lot in everyone’s life
She is the source of our existence
She is the provider and source of life
Missing her is losing our essence

We owe all from that priceless creature
From the time we are fetus in her innards
To the time we seem master of the nature
But alas, most of us treat her with disregards!

We cannot bargain to agree upon a price
encompassing free services with no gratitude.
But she is devoted to offering sacrifice
Her death is a loss to the multitude

You could not believe she truly passed away
Your thoughts are still telling you she is alive
In your dreams you see her, but goes back right away!
But the reality is that she will never be able to live

Life is a cycle and we will have our round
As there is a time for birth a departure from life;
Let’s remain stoic and keep the same bound
And wait for our fate to eternal life
