“He Lamented Over You” - Absalom's Perspective (Part 2)

He wept.

He actually mourned the devil's son,

That deflowered his daughter!

Can you believe such a thing?

Truly he felt no love towards his own seed.

Shedding tears over such a scoundrel's life.

I haven't done enough.

I haven't struck the right cord yet.

Tearing apart his precious garment in lamentations. 

And still, haven't visited the damsel his son discarded.

A Father indeed.

What lies he told my mother,

That influenced her to birth a child so unfavorable before the kings eyes.

(Sigh) At least she has been avenged.

He got what he deserved. A righteous judgment. 

Since the king has lost his sense of justice,

I met it out in his stead.

What must I do now?

I need to live another day.

I need to be alive to make my next move.

If he wept so bitterly over such a prince,

Imagine what he'll do at the height of his grief?

I'm no longer safe within these walls.

I need to flee, and now.

My sister's heart is at rest,

But my life is in danger.

I have no choice but to flee.

Reference; 2 Samuel 13:30-31, 36-39
