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
