Poetic Verses
Years Ago
Some years ago, I had a friend
Who mistreated his good wife
He truly was an evil man
Who seemed to relish strife.
He shamed her before others
And cursed her name at length
The bruises she tried hard to hide
Were proof of his brute strength.
One day I lost composure when
I saw signs of abuse
And when I asked him to explain
He offered no excuse.
That's when he learned how wrong it is
To cause his wife such pain
Although through years of misery
She never did complain.
He lost me as a friend that day
As well as his good wife
And I am glad those years ago
She started a new life.
Who mistreated his good wife
He truly was an evil man
Who seemed to relish strife.
He shamed her before others
And cursed her name at length
The bruises she tried hard to hide
Were proof of his brute strength.
One day I lost composure when
I saw signs of abuse
And when I asked him to explain
He offered no excuse.
That's when he learned how wrong it is
To cause his wife such pain
Although through years of misery
She never did complain.
He lost me as a friend that day
As well as his good wife
And I am glad those years ago
She started a new life.
