Dead of the Family

Top of Form 1 ?????DEAD OF THE FAMILY I don’t know very much at all I know red means stop and green means go I don’t live in the deep south yet I have a southern drawl And I also know the things that I don’t know At first it was difficult admitting that fact To tell people that I’m not so wise Then I’d explain all the things which I have lacked Such as a traditional upbringing which is no surprise Perhaps it’s the fact that everyone in the family has bruises Yet no one goes to the emergency clinic for aid And in this family there are no winners nor fu**ing losers Everyone beats every one just for a minuscule mess he may have made Two ostensibly ordinary people are bringing their kids up with military rules There was a lawyer down the street but we could never nerve up and go We may be mistreated, mishandled but we’re no damn fools And as I said, the only thing I know is that which I don’t know © (2011)….Phreepoetree ~free cee!~
