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.
