The Absentee Father Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

The Absentee Father

Start with the unholy matrimony,
She is the crying
queen of mistakes

He is standing
adamant walls
of falsehood,

As well as
opposing spouse,
on this land
of adultery,

After long years,
of servitude,
with this unfaithful
stranger,

you are the,
misguided worshipper,
not knowing another
woman
has all his undivided
attentions,

You wished you hadn't
married In haste,
in a whirlwind courtship,
with breached contract,

He had taken all
your spiritual coffers,

left the fleshy residues
of grief, with
all his fatherless,
disaster,
and namesake,
