TRAPPED

By Tikum Mbah Azonga

I know what I’m doing
When he finishes his speech and sits
I will rise as if going to ease myself
Then, within minutes
I’ll return
With the bloodstained under garment
As proof of his infidelity
If he denies it
I’ll ask him to swear on the bible
I f he admits it
I’ll ask the congregation to forgive him.
