How easily I can be swept
right out of the face of the earth
And unlike how we see it in movies
Not have the people 'who matter' close by
To exit this world in their presence
It could happen while the randomest of people watch
Worst still, it could happen at any time, in any place
Though the movies have on thing right
Your life does indeed flash before you
And the most you remember from that (life flashing by)
Is who you never told that you love, and regretting what you never did.
Dedicated to my late Sister: Sheila Nthenya Mulumba.
