To A Once Trusted Friend Poem by Benjuzzy Okpuzor

Streams of sadness
flows down my cheek,
eyes tortured and
stocked in their living
sockets, which now is

food day and night,
whispers of a nameless
rumor grows in my head
and heart, yet my ears
can not hold,

that my once true
companion keeps scheming
vile and evil, for the one
they once embrace in
friendship, the man with

bread in my table, now
seeks me as his breakfast,
time has changed, so dark
and black, beast now better
than best friends, which

were only scheming a way
to make the sheep invite
a wolves to a dinner, i
search and seek peace, but
finding non, and the one

i hold with many esteem,
sold his honour for a
palate of pleasure, and a
mere treasure, let him eat
shame, and hold a mortifying

groan forever.what a
perfidious fellow, and a
ravenous friend, with pebbles
You pelt me, but rocks you
Shall find in return
