MY POEMS

DEVALUATION

He saw the treasure
Became tantalized and
Longed for a sexy amalgamation
Vigour descended on him

He pursued the treasure
With deceitful words
And fake affluence
With the hope of getting her

He had the pleasure
With the ignoramus
Who did not notice him
Then as a desperado

He fled from the pressure
Deserted and denied
The devalued treasure
How faithful are boys?
