ROBBED OFF  MADNESS

Oh the transformation love can bring!!!

Tall,athletic,fresh Caucasian skin    
a beauty he was!    
Rob Madness.    
   
Moved to Mombasa from Rotterdam in 2010    
Quickly fell in love with the city and its finest cuisine.    
A regular at the Casablanca    
he easily became accustomed to various local dishes,if you know what i mean    
Oh!And he was never shy to an audience while having his dessert!    
   
8000 miles from his ordinary life    
A beach house next to ours    
Cocaine,heroine,E,weed... at every street    
Women at his disposal    
Fast cars and lots of Euros to make it rain.    
   
He fit right in into the city that breath on sin.    
   
He lived the good life    
Or at least he thought!    
   
He met Suzie at our dinning table one Friday    
My godfather thought it was his mission to make Rob see the light so he had him over for dinner sometimes.    
They got to talking    
exchanged numbers    
hanging out    
Before we knew it,    
Rob sat first row at J.C.C every Sunday to applaud his bride in the choir.    
   
He applied for citizenship    
Enrolled at Daystar University for Journalism    
Started writing and performing again    
Got a job at Baraka FM in 2012    
And settled to a delightful simple life.    
   
The only more he wanted was to be better for his dear Suzie.    
To make her happy,henceforth,was his solemn intention in life .    
   
Suzie's death came too fast,unceremonious    
none of us were prepared for it.    
When she was first diagnosed with lung cancer    
We were all so hopeful she will beat it.    
Rob would smile at her on those long nights and say    
"If my money will not,    
Then your God will surely heal you!"    
   
He prayed    
He begged    
He fasted    
He hoped    
He believed    
He trusted    
He nursed her through and through.    
Rob was sure on their wedding day,Suzie will be cancer free.    
   
The tumors however kept on spreading numerously    
14th September 2013,We laid Suzie to rest.    
   
Rob Madness or whatever is left of him    
from morning till late night his dwelling is the beach.    
You will find him classic drunk,stained cheeks,laying ashore.    
Once a heartthrob,and a beauty to behold    
An amazing songwriter,Oh how he would serenade her!    
A faithful partner and our friend.    
All that is left is a broken man with a broken heart,broken faith and a broken life.    
   
   
He is no longer the man who landed at the airport    
The party animal    
Nor the man who fell deeply in love with Suzie.    
   
Those who who don't know the story says the city drove him to madness.    
They don't understand her death robbed off his madness.
