A War Apiece Poem by Onkgopotse Ramatiti

[A sequel to 'He Thises, She Thats; They Both Bit-of-Bothed']

He is an ace at what he does
Yet she wouldn’t embrace all that fuss
He is the king in his castle
But she’s not keen on being a part of his hustle

Always accused of being ungrateful
Remaining silent at the mercy of being called unfaithful
Family members withdrawing their moral support
Friends suddenly unable to establish rapport

Corporal bruises artfully concealed through cosmetology
Emotional scars distilling through the craft of psychology
No regrets as all expenses are paid for
Going for hers; who really cares? She chose to live hardcore
