POEMS

VENOM OF A VIPER

He was fast asleep

She came for a single peep

Of his shape and stature

Under a miserable wooden structure

Nothing could have been bitter 

Than to see a man as helpless as ever

Lying fainted and destitute

By dint of the vicious venom of a prostitute

Help me! Oh,help me! For I'm dying

Now he knows there is a learning

To be imbibed by every man

In this life before his time is done

Dreams, aspirations and great expectation

Have all been swept away by dissipation

Yes, when things go haywire

A man's life is set on fire

Trying to find answers he moves to and fro

To the heavens and into hell's mouth he'll go

To see if a solution could be found

For a wretched, imprisoned soul to be unbound
