The Southern Fried Homicide Poem by Gabriel Owino Jr.

Extremely withdrawn
Too afraid to say love
Like she knew it before feeling it
Just there to leave the Earth
But then

She became the author of crime
Crime of passion
To slay the only love in her life
What started innocently
But then

Smitten by his simple life
The country lass fell for vanity
A ship sailing among the icebergs
Helplessly she followed
But then

The only one
blinded by silly infatuation
She loved to the point unattainable
To the love of killing for him
But then

She never touched her
laid no hand on her rival
Instead she killed him
That none could live in his life again
But she
