WIDOWER'S PAIN

Panic, patience, a widower’s pain become
Cruelty’ callous, a child of chaos he bore
To a god, he grieves, to a deity he dips
His heart  heaped with hopelessness held

Tears, timing, these a  fool may tame
Fears,  folly, a fate that ruins his fame
Offscouring, offspring, off-screen must off-take
Tis shame shared, on shrinking  shoulders shelved

 A wish will wane, a faith could fade
Duty done, are not deed delayed
Rid a rogue of his rotten right, and a rascal’s rot without a rate
Bravery born on broken backbone we just  but bear

Tis his folly alas we break
For our weakness our strength is tried
In us once a triumph found
A tyrant’s  back is bent for life
