The Casualties

THE CASUALTIES

By Boluwatife Afolabi

Ifem,

Life is a battle

and like all similar debacles

we must deal with casualties,

cry for them,

become them even-

Husbands,

too broken to return-

to eager wives

to hungry kids

to randy mistresses.

Wikipedia defines it as; -

"...a form of physical punishment that involves the deliberate infliction of pain as retribution for an offence, or for the purpose of disciplining or reforming a wrongdoer, or to deter attitudes or behaviour deemed unacceptable. The term usually refers to methodically striking the offender with the open hand or with an implement, whether in judicial, domestic, or educational settings."
