Alli

Some say Karma is real, you reap what you sow,

But men are not bothered by this old wives tale, existence is for self,trailed by seas of  tears ,sometimes blood, most times sorrows, this era of self.

You were great once, a mustang wild and untamed

Your word was law and you towered like a rock.. 

Even when they called for your head

The young ones who shouted, cried and whimpered as they died...

8 unnamed...you did not go

But they did.. nameless and forgotten...

You prospered in wealth

Were courted by power..

and Were forgotten.  

But Nemisis is a Mushin Fighter...

Dirty and shameless..

It was her turn to bare you naked to the world.  

So we learnt you are now a shell and imprisoned by your love.. 

How you are slapped and can't say a word..the mighty Ali...I shake my head..

The cooks, garderners are only too glad to tell your tale to a gossip-thirsty world..

You are a shell Ali, old, scared, and imprisoned, devocalised  by life...you cry alone...

You left the wife your youth...where are the children of your youth?

They say your your son is drugged to the eyes...they say...'they say...

Fallible man you cannot even save yourself

Ennui

Listlessness settles upon me like a stubborn fly, only the Quest will settle its wanton touch, Conformity, comfortability and rest wring my neck like a strangler, my mind is restless and listless and will not be content to wander about with the mudane and the ordinary

Rizpah

  You stare at the fallen in unspeakable grief, and recall the first steps, the tiny hug, the baby smell all the little details a mother knows beneath the terebinth tree oh Rizpah, the pleasure of all eyes the delight of Saul in his prime what have you become? fighting birds of prey and jackals as they stalk the decaying  flesh of your flesh... Amoni was the quiet one,  Mephibosheth the witty one, who laughed even in sadness Here they lay eyes agape in unspeakable horror, hung like thieves Saul would gather them in the small of his arms, and they, beauties to behold would giggle in delight Rizpah, your existence is that of demented reality and excruciating dreams in the middle of insanity The Jackals have come again, aiming to savour the carcasses of your decaying sons,  I stand weakened by hunger and sorrow, and shoo them away again. God of Israel,  take this pain away
