The Bottom Line

By

Elizabeth Maua Taylor

You are insolvent; 
A net worth disclosing 
A bankruptcy of feeling, 
Evasive of trust, 
And a depreciated shared collateral 
So taxing, 
I will write you off. 

What happened to our shelter,
The pledged security, 
The compliance of bylaws, 
In our merger? 
Where's the promissory note of faith? 

The annuity of shared dream 
Is now without title or deed. 
Our partnership is dissolved.
