I Am Doomed

Did  I ever have to be like this
I'm besieged
My lambs are born speckled
My wife goes to the spring at night
When the moon is high
What shall I do 
Summer is approaching
I have to go away from home fast
To look for herbal boughs
Before the day arrives
To cure my impotency
Tried all efforts to straightened my arrow
But all in vain
My voice is silent
Since I am doomed for good
No play for me
No seeds to sow
Surely,I am doomed

Hearing my wife scream
Not because of fear 
But because of excitement
I  have to cover my head
And block my worried thoughts
I am doomed!

Labour pains shouts are heard from people wearing white coats
A progeny is brought into life
What a useful house help I am 
Bringing towels for all
For a progeny whose trace is unknown
I am doomed
When will my fence get fully repaired
I have bought all kinds of wires
But all have no use since My fence is totally broken
Oh,I am doomed!

I vowed never to let her go
As I am married to her
I am a slave to this love
I am doomed

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.
