It was a group of four;
Meeting late at night.
Looking sombre on the floor
Alas! began a horrid fight.
The secret had leaked out;
One which both were hiding.
Love which raised a doubt;
Was victim to their chiding.
Part of a twisted scheme;
How could one be so cruel?
Even God would not redeem;
The sin of divide and rule.
Several months passed;
No one made a sound.
Bound with eternal love;
Fate had them turn around.
The plan backfired;
Shattered evil scheme.
One which was conspired;
Evaporated like steam.
Destiny makes us bound;
None goes his way alone.
What we sow in another’s life;
Returns back into our own.

Haha–no, it’s not funny! If only people acted as if they believed in this kind of poetic justice! I like the storytelling of your poem, the logic of its meter and rhyme, the central lines:
“Even God would not redeem;
The sin of divide and rule.”
And, its inherent morality neatly tied up in its ending.
Hello Susan,
Thank you so much, so glad you liked it dear 😀
Highly appreciated! Lots of love 🙂

Well, that is so often how it works, isn’t it? We have the saying ‘What goes around comes around,’ and your poem certainly illustrates that! I guess the moral could be, considering the theme, that one cannot escape JUSTICE. Smiles.

Yes one can not escape justice! 😉

Sanaa,
I think the lesson is that no matter how long the truth will eventually come out. An interesting account with poetic justice involved..

“One which was conspired; / Evaporated like steam.”…we expect this to happen but more than often this is not so…love the story line and its spontaneous flow Sanaa…

How often this must have have happened in a group where the love for one was not known until much later. It is all part of the learning process or even a legitimate competition to obtain the best mate possible at all costs, as in the wild!

It’s interesting how fast we believe someone’s opinion over our own guts…., get under influence and bullying of others…hopefully, love finds everyone sooner or later….

Ah, indeed! The world surprises us in an infinitude of ways and good old karma very often will dispense justice where we thought it would never be served. How simple the notion that we should treat people in exactly the way we expect them to treat us. Would it not be a much better world?
Hello Nicholas,
Thanks for stopping by, so glad you liked it 🙂
Agreed, would be a much better world to live in 🙂
