My Guest

There I was at my own house

I was doing chores

I was raising my children

I was cooking

I was cleaning

I was living my life

When a knock came upon my door.

An uninvited guest

Knocked upon my door

I looked out the window

I don’t know this person

They knocked again

I opened my door because the uninvited appeared in pain

And he was

He was hurt

He was in pain

He groveled at my feet

He begged for my help

His family had cast him out

His family had abandoned him

I felt empathy

For this person

I had never been put into this type of terror

I did what I could to help

I got him some water

I gave him a mat to sleep on my porch

When my husband came home

He killed the stranger.

I phoned the police.

The police arrived then called the mortuary

The mortuary removed the body.

Moral: Men accept help from other men – never from their wives.

Moral2: A righteous man never sets foot on another man’s land without his permission.
