Betrayal in the backyard

RABBIT ON THE PULPIT

PART 32 “Betrayal in the backyard”

Unfufilled love kills,

All gone berserk..
In this lifes’ backyard.

Every day taking a different turn,
As though the bright moon,
Hanging in the sky, shone no more,
Ever more, never more,
Like molten lava,
Down the volcanoe valley..
The cracks ran through widely..
Widenning and widenning..
 
Each minute, a slow love death,
At the alter of betrayed vows,
In pain, in poverty and sickness,
Meant no more,
A still heart stolen,
By strangers in clawns,
 
Then the devorce came,
And apart, they went,
Poor creatures,
Creatures of nature and its calamity
 
Would they pretend,
They were trending?
Or trading?
Under moonlight shadows?
Shadow of arrows,
Arrows, of God,
Like Chinua Chebe said?
