AUTHENTIC POETRY

I am a man with many wives


Yet I hunger all though my life
Because all thought the other will take care

Finally, I went hungry, that’s not fair.

Nobody bothered to find out


Because everyone thought

Someone will dish out


Something for me but naught.

And now I hunger like a wolf


For truly want of food
Because everybody hoped

Someone will do it
Again, I had nothing to eat
Yes, I just can’t cope.

Can you ever imagine,

A man of many wives


Hunger throughout his life
Oh! No! do not let polygamy come in.
