Sorrowful life experiences
“Fly dad. I tried learning so much from you its been only two months but i’m messing up a lot. I miss you dad. I love you, please guide me,” one social media user said.
“I couldn’t control my tears at all, i just remembered my cousins who perished in a road accident 16 of them (at) Moi’s bridge heading to a village in Vihiga called Mahanga. It has really touched me, (you) can imagine how i saw the coffins being brought one by one till 16 of them from Maseno mortuary. For sure it has really touched me.

“It’s unfortunate (my) mom never got an opportunity to wish me in my KCPE exams. It was painful to miss a mom to visit me in highschool during visitations. Now it’s even worse, she can’t see what kind of guy i grew up to be. I wonder if those who leave us in the present explain to her how i am, what i do and who i am with or i remained a LONEWALKER. I miss you every time mom. Yester week, social media was filled with family posts, people being proud of their mothers. I felt alone, odd and unlucky. The world is sometimes unfair. Rip mom. Hope one daybwe shall be one again. God bless you King Kaka,” Lone Walker contemplated.

Goodbye my friend,” part of the chorus and lyrics say.
