TREACHERY

 

 

 

 

Wonders will never cease

For pain in the joints, invited ‘doctors’

Whose remedies astound to today

For arthritis isn’t finale, it’s merely disabling.

 

Who knows not rodents' bait

Whose action is full stop?

A ‘good’ contact recommended it

Like she was a rat to be silenced forever.

 

Defiance saved her for she laughed it off

And refused to comply to given instructions

On what to do with ingredients to be purchased

 Masqueraded as a remedy.

 

Three times he emailed

And three times he called

Full of persuasion as a 'good' ally

Claiming he was among regiment of users.

 

Yet, on a visit to his home for days

Revealed no signs of him

Swallowing the dreaded concoction

For the ploy was for her only.
