I Saw The Coin Of Sorrow Tricky Joker! Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

I saw the coin of sorrow tricky joker!
On one side it had joy, a wise
Advert yet tricky slippery!

Like gad flies I saw so many humans
View the glistening side and fly
With open arms to the joy side.

I saw them sticking there.
A little after they had scented
The aromas of honey and began
To suck they found their glued
Feet self-imprisoned them on that
Treacherous ground.

‘At least, ’ one of them so himself
Consoled at all his sorry state
‘at least I have drawn aromas
Heavenly. I was in paradise but
Paid for it. How soon! How soon
Alas! Alas! ’ He stopped for
Through his brain some thoughts
Passed ripping that he was just
Prating.
And there he was stuck in the glue
With feet that could not move
Just dark
Just dark
Just dark in his eyes lights.
He stretched his hand
So far he did to shield
His fearing eyes away from
Blinding light.
To shield.
To shield.
Fear.
Fear.
Fear.

I saw the coin of sorrow tricky joker!
On one side it had joy, a wise
Advert yet tricky slippery!
