Burnt Bridges Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Burnt bridges
Severed relationships
Forgotten promises
Broken promises
False promises
Lies presented as truths
Misconceptions presented as facts.

Burnt bridges
Forsaking true friends
Deliberately forgetting help once offered
Not realising that in life what goes up must
come down
What goes around comes around
When that happens one finds that she or he
had burnt all bridges.

Burnt bridges
Bridges burnt by pride
Bridges burnt by greed
Bridges burnt by selfishness
Bridges burnt by jealousies
Bridges burnt by being power hungry
Bridges burnt by corruption
Bridges burnt by back stabbing
Bridges burnt by gossiping.
