Chinedum Ekwobi Poet Rhyme

Curse 2

A sender of shock waves,
Recipient to unable to remain brave
Days on end, the worst expecting
Week after week, comforting words ignoring,
For those who had their sources wronged
On them inflicting so much pain that people thronged;
The guiltless ones readily taking the matter up,
A notification of persons with whom they sup,
Every one of them prepared to a suit file
Against his attacker who‘d gone to such a mile:
Vulnerable as even the innocent is
To the malevolence of a curse
The great chances of this
 Unfailingly drying his purse.

This, though, a country side anxiety is,
Most urbanites ready to all curses kiss;
For being a mere outburst of the furious
Absolutely sure they aren’t injurious…

But on their contents, I set much store
To their intents glimpsing some claw,
Not at all eroded my unscientific fears
That cursing lips are a lot more than voiced tears
Not just a verbal  the social man could safely swallow
As being just an enemy’s chosen “hello”.
