Poetic-Verses
'' In This Life You Reap What You Sow ''
If you're thinking of having an illicit affair,
you need to stop and ask yourself why,
the facts are you need to be fully aware,
it will haunt you till the day you die.
So before you think it's only a fling,
please take time out to reflect,
think of the misery infidelity will bring,
it will have a shocking effect.
Does your wife or husband really deserve,
to be treated in this treacherous way,
or like most will you keep them in reserve,
for now they do not have a say.
Then there's the children who looked up to you,
they will grieve but they won't understand,
why the parent they loved has just said adieu,
they will know that you've been underhand.
Their lives will never be the same,
your actions will make them want to hide,
they will feel betrayed and ashamed of their name,
it's then you'll be the one cast aside.
You will find you'll then lose your circle of friends,
as for relatives you will know by their tone,
that this is the time when their friendship ends,
it is you they will gladly disown.
Do you hate them that much that you would cheat,
with someone you don't really know,
with your partner and kids no one can compete,
stay faithful and your stature will grow.
Your partners not daft or incredibly blind,
they will notice your change in demeanour,
when you finally get caught that's when you will find,
that grass over there isn't greener.
Most affairs eventually break down,
that's when you will start to crack,
everything you do will bring on a frown,
when you find there is no going back.
Everything in life you once held dear,
will be gone you'll find it's been taken,
there'll be nothing left but the feeling of fear,
you'll have lost everything you have forsaken.
That is not all you will stand to lose,
there is also the issue of trust,
it's a price you pay for those you abuse,
all to feed what is after all lust.
It is then when you'll look in the mirror and see,
a person whom you know longer know,
when reality kicks in you'll be forced to agree,
