Why pretend
When you waits for my end
You guise as friend
Inwardly ravenly you tend
Thou understand not what I mends
Nor what I vends
But play along as if you defends
Waiting till my cloth rends
But no matter what life present
On God my life is contigent
My shield!
When alone on battle field

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

The trust in men is vain. For they will betray
you when you need them most. I wrote this
in the bitterness of my heart- I was betrayed
by a close relation. But glory be to God who
has been my help

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Olayinka Samson Aremu 19 October 2013

Then when hand helps hand In mixing stones with sand Thus the concrete makes a pole stand Now when poets compliments a poetess then we are lifting up our prowess O wise Faeo Lyre Clive! Your comments made me feel alive
