The mortification

The Mortification


The famous widowed singer, a titled living icon
worshiped as a demi-god, married again, this time
with a woman the same age as his daughter, who
called her stepmother a brazen gold-digger.

And in the sewer system of the famous, poisonous
rumours seeped all the way to the gutter press,
the new woman in their heroes life was tart and
didn’t deserve him.

And to make matters worse, the singer still loved
his dead wife, everyone knew that, and soon tired
of the new one; so he changed locks in his houses
and started divorce proceedings,

And the press gloated when the humiliated wife
trashed about in distress and uttered words that
didn’t make much sense, and showed picture of
her posing in an unbecoming way.

So she got her money then and is it: good riddance
then? No quite she has got a gift the singer has to
forego, his baby daughter and the snubbed wife is
going to live far away
