Weaver

She is not a joker in the business
the  wholesale trade she runs prudently
weaving  flouting lies into fine truth
and established truth into open deceit

Her feet always points towards salons
market places she does not miss a day
those are the places wealthy and teeming
with raw materials for weaving articles

Many families cry with their hands on mouth
children often ask, “Mama why divorce?”
shops have been looted and burned down 
and brides fall apart with their bridegrooms

The weaver does not rest on her wooden bed 
till the textile of lies are finished and sold
