Infidelity Poem by Vinaya Joseph

A small prayer
God,
Curse him!
For all
What he did,
For all the lies that he said...

Maim him,
Cripple him
Burn him in fire,

Forbid him the peace of mind,
For life…
As he destroyed mine

I am no sadist,
For I want to see him,
Writhe in pain,

But then how can I wish him good,
For he was a rapist,
Robbing me of my tranquility…

Though many infidels,
Like him survive,
Crush him so that
It would be a fitting lesson,
For the others,
Not to play
With any woman's emotions…

He took pride,
In being a 'player'
Let his pride take a fall…
He played with my feelings,
And is caressing,
Other woman's bosom,
Writing verses
About her tresses…

I seek justice,
In your court…
Lord, do hear me
Please do...
