Haiku - Betrayal

When one of your own,
Sticks a knife into your back,
The friendship turns black.

Any second chance,
Is an opportunity,
To twist the knife in.

  5. Betrayal is something alien to human being, in fact, we were bestowed with it by the gods.

    That is why when we betray we leave all rights to be given a second chance. It is definitive and final. As death.

    Your sense of Haiku is amazing, Harish! You sure there is not a member from the Rising Sun in your family? :)
