An Apple does not fall
Far from the tree
Betrayal sometimes runs in a family
The junior found a permanent solution
To a problem that was temporary
The senior runs to another woman
Grief is an excuse for infidelity
What can a wife /mother do?
Open a sheet to pen her misery
Light a stick to suck in her pain
Pop a cork again and again
What can a daughter /sister do?
Lash out at the one person she can
Slash her wrists, scream and shout
Hit and scratch, scream and pout
A young man who showed his caring
For his grades, his exams, his gaming
In sacrificing this earth for paradise
Chose shadow over substance, was that wise?
Looped a belt around a pipe
Kicked the chair, snuffed his life
His old man shows his caring
For the emptiness in his lover’s life
Ignores the same when it engulfs his wife
For he’s a ‘strong man’ who runs away
Lives to love another day
The men in their lives have let them down
The men are blind the women drown
