On the high throne
the judge sits
about to pass verdict
for sins commit.
Her name is called
and I’m the issue
“Remember when you lied?”
the Judge counted
“promised you’ll love him
deceive him to believe
cheat on him in secrecy
lavish his cash
file a divorce
and took all his wealth
Remember?”
She tried to plead
like it was a sin
she inherited
not one she committed
but the verdict
had been concluded
and a seven deadly sins count
was charged against her
for my useful life
she rendered useless
still
my life could not be
restored
as my body slept
peacefully in its casket
and my soul taking flight.
