Betrayal Poem by Valsa George

Betrayal

Rating: 5.0


Secure within the mother’s womb.
Sheltered from all storms of life.
Swimming,
Swivelling,
and
Sustained.

The countdown begun-

A wide world awaiting,
Eager faces looking,
Windows opening,
to
Colour,
Scent,
Taste and Touch.

But,
Expectations shattered,
Exasperation heightened,
Execution begun,
Excruciation settled,
and
Expulsion confirmed!
Chopped to pieces,
Down to trash.
‘The most unkindest cut of all’!

Betrayal!
Horrid Betrayal!
Through aeons,
History repeats.
‘Am I my brother’s keeper’?
The Son of Man –
sold out,
with a kiss.
Et tu, Brute!

This poem of yours, written almost five years ago, caught my eyes today. My feelings have found an expression in the very title of the poem, just one word, 'Betrayal'. 'Expulsion confirmed! Chopped to pieces, Down to trash. ‘The most unkindest cut of all’! ' - Every word of this stanza rips the heart as one utters it. 'The Son of Man – sold out, with a kiss. Et tu, Brute! ' - Simply magnificent! Certainly deserves 10/10.

The act of betrayal sans reason and has ever been intrigued in mistaken shades of human fancies. The wolves and the lambs have the same terrain and discerning the former is quite a remote possibility often.The choice is not Caesarian in effect and all the Brutes have the fun of dismantling the little sweet thing ever and ever.

Very deep emotion impressingly and poignantly poured out. " The most unkindest cut of all" is enough for expressing the deep and utmost emotion. The poem really deserves a high rank in Valsa Poems

Part - 1Really a foetus remains safe within the mother’s womb but due to some unhuman persons it is chopped to pieces before his looking light which is fully betrayal.. You have so movingly portrayed this scene. It may be cited... But, Expectations shattered,
