Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Verse

A Halo Goodbye

An alm-timed good deed
got evilly rewarded
The saintly gesture, labor of love
was given a
perfidious payment

Death by dissimulation
uttered a bullet cry
Good Samaritan intentions
was given a
hot metal, cold evil eye

A warm welcoming, kind-hearted try
was given a
glowing halo goodbye

Patricia Cresswell September 8, 2019 at 9:02 PM It is not in the reception of the deed that haloes are given but in the intent of the giver that they are bestowed. Please do not give upon us yet. Well written.
