My Neighbor

                        
      She is the twin of trouble
      They possess identical features
      She personifies nosy
      The queen of gossip she is
      She knows EVERYONE
      Befriends all
      Hers is a sad story


      Her children,
      Gluttons and 'walk-abouts' is what they have become
      Her husband,
      Like her he has become
      A fool for all seasons.
      Oh what a home she has!
      In great need of prayers...


     Her tales fill the streets
     The older women regard her with deep scorn
     Knowledge of her ways is an open secret
     Whispers here... Whispers there
     Some pray for change
     Some pray she pays for her crime against womanhood
     But she remains stupid, ignorant of her crime...


      She is my neighbor
      A disgrace to womanhood
      Source of shame to her generation
      What do I pray for??
       CHANGE!!!
      I only hope it's not too late...
     At least for her innocent children.
