Hell Hath No More Fury Poem by Francis Duggan

He bores me with the sorry details of his life
Of how he was forsaken by his ungrateful wife
She left and took their two young children a few years ago
And where they now live he does not seem to know.

She was aware he was having his 'bit on the side
And that would have hardly done much for her pride
Hell hath no more fury than a woman's scorn sounds ever true
And the karma we receive is the karma we are due.

With tears in his eyes as he sips on his beer
His sad story in the pub we are obliged for to hear
That he does not see his children on him taking toll
But he is one with not much light in his soul.

To karma for him the price was big to pay
His wife left with the children whilst in church he did pray
He came home to find that from him they had gone
But life in the bigger World out there goes on.

Of his infidelities his wife was aware
And he paid the big price for his extra marital affair
She left with the children for some distant Town
And despite his best efforts he cannot track them down.
