Man Died

Last night a man died,
There wasnt any blood 
spilled,
Or sign of wounds 
unhealed,
Or miffled screams of 
horror,
Or any noise of 
struggle, loud and 
coarser,
Just a face which was 
deeply mortified,
Just a corpse mumified,
To bury in darkness,

Last night a man died,
Some say it was a sad 
accident,
At a wrong time, wrong 
place,he arrived
To witness scene 
indecent,
His wife pulling her 
lover in with carnal lust,
And the man 
conquerring her with his
Unquenchable thirst,

Last night a man died,
Some say it was a 
suicide,
The rope had fell around 
his neck,
When he was seduced 
by her chaste peck
On his nervous lips,
And it tightened slowly, 
eventually,
As her adulterous hand 
rips
clothes of her 
clandestine lovers,

Last night a man died,
Some say he was cruelly 
murdered,
His trust with disdain 
shattered,
The weapon was forged 
in cheap hotel rooms,
And he paid price with 
his doom,
Of one mistake he 
commited as such,
To love and trust too 
much,

One day his teary eyes 
would have dried,
But there sadness would 
still tell,
About the broken pride,
And about hatred which 
with passing day,swells,
Anguish would still 
whisper,
About a heartless 
unchastened bride,
And a man who, one 
night died,
And a man who, one 
night died,
