HE IS GONE, WHERE?

He is Gone, where?

He is gone
Where?

At the moment
No answer

My neighbour
And friend is gone

I feel lonely and forlorn
This is the voice
Of a young man
A primary school boy

Counted on his
Childhood friend
To be with him
All the way
Study & play

Playing and studying
Alas! the world
Is seeing change

Friends & families
Are forced to flee
To places far and strange

This is the story
Of Abu Baker
Who had
To leave suddenly

Forsaking his friend
School and family
Not knowing
When he will return
To the country
He called his own

They said he is gone
I asked, where?
The answer
Still not given

Shouted someone
Address unknown.
Answer
I didn't
