Part Three

  The daughter who was as if mummified

By the first incident she happened to testify,

This time round, straight to the ground down she went,

And began suffering from some kind of fit -

Her back pinned down to the ground-

As if she had been fatally wounded.

Soon she was followed by her mother,

Who seemed to have wet herself

And as a result her raiment doused everywhere.

What follows appears more a bang up histrionic play

Than a harlequin would have had planned.

That is to say -

Four people down in the commotion,

Including the man with murderous intention.

And his automatic rifle catapulted in the opposite direction.

The judge, naked as ever, was the only one inured,

Who could move around -

Though unsure of himself and wondering what kept the others

Earth bound.

Bewildered and confused, Not knowing what else to do,

He firmly grabbed his forehead,

Then down his face he slid his hands.

In the process he squashed his lips and forced open his mouth

With a wheeling sound then he succeeded to suck in air to check if he could still breath.

At last, knowing that he was not dead,

He assessed the rest of this body

If he had suffered any wound.

Then he said, “This man is evil personified,

Not only has come to kill,

But to humiliate the household female.”

He suspected the man might have other traitorous plan

Up his sleeve. To trick his victims perceive

That he had fatally wounded himself.

And unable to recover the assault machine,

 The judge would run

For the automatic gun.

Only to be surprised and shot from behind

Using a hidden weapon,

Presumably the judge was thought not to be aware off.

“That,” he said, ‘I will never do, I am a judge and not a layman.

In the sphere of think, it is I, who is in command,

Not this gun toting swagman.”

However, in desperation he decided to lift up

His daughter and kiss her on the lips.

Feeling guilty he had cause all these.

A thing he has never done before,

Since she grew up and turned an adult

In her own right.

Then he put her down,

Carefully on the ground,

And turned his face round,

In the direction his wife could be found.

He bends over

Stretched his arms and said, ‘ forgive me dear’.
