What A Revenge Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Meeting a stranger
In a bus station
A housewife became
Tempered to cheat
On her husband
"It is alright
As it will be
One night stand! "

She found
The adulterous fling
A nice thing
Which must be kept going.
She began to say
"What could he possibly bring? "

The couples marriage
Went dangerously awry
When the husband continued
To beset her by
"Why, Why, ...Why? "
"Didn't we vow
To stay united
Till we die?
I am afraid
In a fit of rage
I could make a revenge? "

The man who wandered into
Her life off guard to wholesale
Posses her
Continued to demand.
"After lunch we could
Attend a music band,
Before dinner
We could go to a cinema
In the village yonder,
For breakfast
We must drive
To the shore fast!

In vain she began to lament
"Do not hesitate
My peevish husband
Could 2 in 1 pierce us
With a bullet! "
So how can we
Go to Another village
Or open
A new page?
Keep we better
Things under cover."

By the time
She got home with a bruise
And a fictitious answer
For ready use
To be accompanied by
The usual
"Give me a break? "
In their bedroom
She found her husband
With a noose
Around his neck
Written on his face
'Give me a break! "

Ironically
The rope was
The self same tie
Up on their marriage
She gifted him
"Forget you
I shall not
Till I die! "
