Poem
The little child was born into a home of violence and abuse. Sadness was the closest thing to love and that was no excuse. A little child screaming as his mother gets slapped and tossed all around, While his worthless father struts thinking he is something he is quite profound. The little children with ragged clothes and snotty noses just stood there in tears, What an impression this father has made for them through the years. We live in a monkey see monkey do get messed up society, Most of the children grew up watching their parents fighting never knowing sobriety. Alcohol or drugs, seemed to dominate most of the poor. The thing they didn’t realize this was only a temporary escape door. The pain that was eased only led to more grief. Till violence took over in the name of relief. The daddy was loaded up paying the bills, food, utilities and rent, While momma stayed home pregnant and got fussed at for the money she spent. They had sunk so low they were ashamed to attend any church, Afraid that the pastor might point them out as he stood on his perch. What is the answer if any to this little tale of mine, How can we make it stop, can we ever draw a line. I do know that hate begets hate so could love be the key? Has anyone ever tried it long enough to truly find the answer of this I would love to see. All of my life I have heard do unto others as you would have them do unto you, Such a simple answer could this be all we need to do? Think About It!!!
