THE DISMAL GROANA Poem by Dryford ChimutuThe Dismal Groan is a formal lament by the speaker to his brother by the name Plaintiff Barrister whom the speaker is accusing of complicity in wrongdoings related to his job of barrister.
My dear brother Plaintiff Barrister,
Please, kindly yield to my plaint, I groan my lord Though I know you won’t wholly assent: That, just like I had you warned, To be the minion was quite disgraceful on you Was only the barest truth and quite unlike Being this appellant’s dismal groan " i.e. the dignifying complaint" That by you being thus too, my lord You would habitually rape the justice How do you plead, my dear my lord? For upon being spoiled by the bellied buddies, It often would compel on you that perverted duty Since each time the rogues had you cracked, my lord You’d to parrot that very damn urge so truly well Even when it meant to burden more than you’d Like when just lately you’d to conspire to pervert That entire course to sprite for those odd vices’ sake; Except all in all, without slightest regard for The utmost good and also in the same vein that you Cared not about your butt, nor guided by those Virtues that befit the Barrister we so cherished in you Yet for the sake of upholding these ill wishes-for You at last groped; inflicting such grave harm upon Innocence and upon yourself too, my lord Hence, these crushing rumors about you, my lord Rife upon the winds tapping on my ear drums Cause me to day in day out dismally groan About you, my dear brother my lord. © 2024 Dryford Chimutu |
