Even You Brutus

EVEN YOU BRUTUS

Many are the thoughts in hearts of men,
None to decipher it,
A smile can be for good and also for evil,
None to comprehend it,
Handshake can be for unnoticed challenge,
The mind has planned mischief and the hand is set to execute it.

You were my friend,
Swayed by greed you turned the cards against me in secret,
And laughed with me in the open,
I thought I was secured by our trust,
But it's fortress was besieged by your desires,
How would I have known all this,for I was mesmerized by our bond,
You betrayed that trust and stabbed me in the back,
How can it be you my friend, 
Even you Brutus.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
