Sandra Martyres - Entangled

Описание

O what a tangled web we weave When we choose to deceive Or to be deceived We need to realise that we receive What we as ordinary mortals choose to give Let us not, therefore, live In a state of blissful ignorance Of the rest of the world and its tolerance Just yesterday you did loudly cry That to her letter you did not reply So now you need to explain why The problem has been raised to the sky If only you had been frank and told the truth You would have spared yourself and Ruth All the pain and the disharmony Including having to face so much ignominy Her paranoid father and ruthless brother Taunting you and your poor harried mother About the love letter that you wrote to her Such emotional outpourings are best kept verbal Since the written word is considered immoral Remember that in our hypocritical society It is only the high and mighty Who can get away with just anything While lesser mortals like you will always feel the sting Of the shame that even innocuous actions can bring Sandra Martyres poemhunter.com/poem/entangled/
