Fooled, Broken and Dumped

The aircraft landed in Nigeria, The day, 27th December, year 2018 And the airport taxi brought him home, Mornings and afternoon's Filled with sounds and sunshine Amongst the family. The affluent splendor of his foreign accent herald the days Yuletide season! He's come from abroad, well, Europe. * * As the dying day dies beautifully In the tender glow of the evening, The hope of an epitome of the African beauty Rose gracefully from its catacomb. She is a lovely maiden that looks good in a broken mirror, Oblivious of an awful and implacable approach of doom, She craves money and an abroad based dude for a groom. * * Tall and handsome like an actor Was the deceitful Casanova. The village stream paved the fate of their meeting, Like magic, her heart paused for him, Cellular numbers exchanged, Undying love promised, Later, three dollars and a one dollar sweater, Lip gloss, perfume and skirt given, Her day , made worthwhile. * * Driven in a Venza car, To a home far away from home, Bottles of Fanta, Galla and stories for compliment, Minutes were spent , the bar and hours in room. Her caring local boyfriend now a heap of rub-bish, She wiggles as the iPhone Pictures her worthless frame, Little does she know, it'll be deleted soon. * * The day, 2nd January, year 2019 Maintained the ceaseless onflow of time, "I came back from UK, to this village, to marry a wife, you my perfect choice" Lie old as time, Sinking deep in her heart like steel thrown in an ocean Words made her legs wide, Gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia infested, Chill of the night, he left for UK, Memories of her forgotten, Too cheap a girl she was Sadly, all which glitters ain't diamond. She was fooled, used, dumped, Impregnated and broken, Now she means nothing to him, she was Only filling the blank Left for a white abroad woman. A Stewart Annie Everestus's poems © 2009
