Treachery Poem by Ansha Truter

There is treachery everywhere.
As soon as you take your first steps
Ouch! There goes the knife right into my back.
No more loyalty these days.
Wait. Has there ever been loyalty?

The one who promised to oversee me,
thought it a task too big.
And I don't worry. anymore.
I take it less personal now.
You did it to him too.
Can I tell you,
how sad it makes him at times?
He said you lived a hard life.
A sad one.

I used to think that this is what Allah wanted for us.
No... I was proven wrong,

For that I am glad.
because even though there is backstabbing and
backbiting and treachery all together,
there is the hope that some people strive
for a life that is better.
