Burnt Bridges & Broken Bonds Poem by John Sensele

Burnt bridges break bonds
When minds driven by selfishness
Turn into vagrants or vagabonds
With neither care for closeness nor happiness.

Burnt bridges breach brotherhood
When minds go astray
Flapping loose tongues in their neighbourhood
Where broken hearts malice they display as they fail to pray.

Burnt bridges far older than fridges
Fidget upon realizing the folly
Flaunted when upon rugged ridges
They cry on deaf ears of Polly and Molly.

Burnt bridges brandish blunders
Accumulated when imposed sanctions
Bite and withdraw wonders
Windows of opportunity and sever affections.
