Friendship At Twilight Poem by Tony Adah

Friendship At Twilight



What benefit begets you
When you stab me at my back
And I find my place elsewhere?
I thought friendship was
Wrapped in truth
For us to share.

We mourn our dear ones together
We share our dreams and aspirations
And we lament our dearth together
But friendship now wears
A crown of falsehood.

I know conscience has inflicted
A wound difficult to heal in your heart
And some hard truth
That pride hides from seeing
You wonder how this divine
Revelation came to be
Our third friend is a keeper of cats
And he lets some out of the sack
Friendship has its has its ordinances
Loathsome when broken.
