A breakaway poem
& poems in response to injustice,
based on the Book of Obadiah,
from Poet Vennesa Samanthan,
by Poet Vennesa Samanthan.
While people were pillaging her wealth
Entering her home and bidding on her
You were among them
Stand guilty
You watch and see
From afar
But decided to come close
And take advantage in the midst
You lavish hell upon her
by your mouth and by your action
by your arrogance and your violence
