The Jealous Thief

Running came the tiny ants Helter skelter they run about With shiver and quick heart beats Accompanied by fear As the pair of soles were fast landing without decorum The Hearts calling out to their Creator As the mice pounced on the cheese With such great enthusiasm and excitement feasting on it Sweetness of the cheese suddenly snatched Bitterness gracefully planted A Jewel pleasantly rusted A Crown jealously smashed A Treasure mercilessly stolen A Home burnt into a house A Red Apple tree uprooted and planted a Fig tree Bitterness instilled, Love eradicated White soaked in deep red Yellow soaked in black Green soaked in red Peace and Order stolen; rumpus invented The Clouds form The rain drops The elephant trumpets The crowd arrives Why, Why,Why?, they ask The foxes disguise happiness The wolves disguise joy The dolves mourn The vultures gossip Chip,chip,chip, the beaks move Peace is altered Joy is buried Love is crucified Sorrow is ignited The Harmattan winds have arrived.
