At The Expense Of My Man Poem by Lawrence s. Makola

The melodies are heard
People are cracking
The sky is blue
Happiness befriended all
At the expense of my man

He was healthy
He was intelligent
He was self caterer
He was his boss
He was well build

The spear crossed the atmosphere
The trick was pulled
The ex crushed the tree
The slinger brought the bird down

Oh destruction intruded
Oh joy faded from our faces
Our heads kissed the ground
When we were to told
The mighty man disappeared
At the expense of my man

Instead of the bells
But the mourning
Instead of joy
But sadness
At the expense of my man
