A Consumate Indignation.

 

 

For many years you proffered friendship, albeit now, in disguise

For all that time, I held in trust, the warm expression in your eyes,

You claimed you worked hard, by my side, to help me build a dream, a cause,

And in return I promulgated for you sir, this fine remittance without pause.

The legions of referrals then, I steered, deflecting to your say

And trust, invested mightily, gave you priority to have your way,

Dependence there, a factor, over many years support

Now the barefaced lie revealed, the friendship, friend, was but a rort!

Revealed, you milked it all for gain, revealed, You snickered at my pain,

Laughed aloud, you played the fool and laughed outrageously, so cruel.

It robbed me of all self regard, a comrade’s mantle caste in lard,

I cried and wept for what was lost, then sat and quietly counted cost.

Betrayal, cold, lies on the shelf, to know thy foe… reflects thyself.
