Who Is Your Friend

Francis Omariba

Great friends we were
Before satan's trap we stepped
During that winter
We once ate together
We played and spent the little time

My friend had a call
A new job could land
He travelled years ago
To the city he went
A new life began
It is ten years
I haven't heard of him

His class rose high
His friends changed too
When I saw him come
I ran to kiss him in joy
His accent had changed
I never heard what he said

In a little voice I heard
"What this little beggar for?"
I couldn't believe my ears
I turned to tears
My breath slowed down
I felt silent and cold
