Sir P Poem by Nweke Emmanuel

When you told me it was two weeks to the time
I smiled because my fears were calmed
But now here I am
Till now I cannot understand
Cause the Pain is much to withstand
How can it be that you did not stand?

When I called you yesterday
We said it will be @ school today
I wonder why you did not say
Cos now ma heart is in pain
Ur silence really did me no gain
For now in my heart it rains.

When I noticed few did not return
To Bro. Vic I turned
At ma sight he started to mourn
He knew I will ask of you
So to make everything cool
He said, 'Man- I know you knew'
The pain he knew I can't bear
Cause to me, he knew you are near
To me he knew you were dear.
