What a Betrayer

O! You are naive You are barbaric indeed In you, I am disappointed We sight each other everyday We smile to one another each day We fondle one another day by day Aren’t we married for years? In number, it was thirty three plus three years O! Electricity You are but faulty You bit me with your electricity teeth Just as snake bites Believe me Please trust me Pray I shall not stand As I lay flatly on this ground Enjoying pain of your thunder bit After cascaded from long distance poll As long as the firmament Laughing though tears drool You are defunct! I mean it you are extinct! O! Poetry soup, don’t plead me Don’t plead me Okay I shall show mercy For my fellow poets to viewing their poetry They need electricity

Nepa has abandoned us just like she flew away from me like a stray bird, flying, tweeting to never reverse to this nest again. The nest she left me in 9 months ago, nursing the painful exit of our baby bird.
