Sonnet Of Proverbs Xiv Poem by Chukwuebuka Adebayo

SONNET XIV
If you have assured surety of no doubt,
Or struck hand in pledge for another;
And so ensnared by word of thy mouth
Or what you said or argued with a brother
You have been trapped; then do this.
Free yourself, free yourself now
Since that you have fallen into his,
Hands and entrapped of what you owe
Go humble yourself. press your plea
With your neighbor.Allow no sleep
To your eyelids like a slouthful flea
Little slumber never let your eyes keep
Be sure you are free, like a gazelle from a bowler
Like a fowl from the snare of the fowler.
