The woman Caught in Adultery
by Nellie Shani I was gambling with my life Being unfaithful as a wife Knowing it was forbidden With much guilt I was laden He was coming today Cos My husband was away I was trapped in its sway Command to faithfulness would not obey I was not aware My neighbor would dare To call me to account By telling people all about The noise was very loud For it was a big crowd Threatened to break down the door If I hesitated any more To the street I was dragged Caught you in the act they bragged As they picked up the stones I felt chills to my bones Then they threw me at his feet With much fear my heart did beat His dusty feet were sandled Lay there as my head I cradled Then he knelt beside me Though my character was slimy Didn't know what he wrote on the ground When I looked up, there was no one around Said daughter where are thy accusers? No more should you live like a loser Woman go and sin no more As he wiped the tears from my brow Nellie Odhuno Shani is a Counselor, Conference speaker and writer.
