The Sad Plight of Mr. & Mrs. White

Albert White was 40 years old

But Mrs. White had passed away

Concealed adultery made their love turn cold

Delirium put his conscience at bay

Every night they slept a room apart

For love was a term long lost and gone

God helped the Mrs. turn from a selfish heart

Heavy drinking kept the Mr. from seeing the dawn:

"I know we can connect" the lady White employed

"Just one more request that you would forgive"

"Kissing won't fix what my choices have destroyed"

"Lamenting my err might allow love to live"

Mr. White was unaffected by the comment of woe

No comment from her could sort out this mess

"Open your mouth again, you despicable hoe!"

Pools of hatred arose in his swelling red head

Quiet. The place got suddenly still

Roses had wilted in the garden within

Symptoms of withdrawal and the desire to kill

Together with visions made his mind turn dim

Under the counter was an old meat carving knife

Vacancy sounded like a good idea for once

"Woman" he said with a tone like ice

Xenophobic frustrations then shot out like guns

~~Moral~~

Yesterday's event was the end for one

Zealots may live but martyrs have love.
