Monster In-Law

A ship controlled by multiple captains, a home by an extra head her presence makes it void of comfort with an unkempt bed. Supposedly one family but the current of dividing lines is switched on the liberty and freedom of every member, such fat **** sits upon. A husband-son tussle as the wife and mother struggle on the beach toiling and moiling with complications of hate for an attention within reach. On love and trust, tension nurturing malice becomes the substituted language unwilling to mix or blend like a combination of wine and cabbage. Embraced loved-one from the other side who behaves like the devil’s colleague monitoring eyes, sniffing nose, long hands and epileptic lips; that’s her league. In every development, stands this strong opposing master peace can’t stand b’cos the limbs of agitation runs faster. Bringing the intrigues and adrenaline secreting drama of a telenovela live to convert a wonderful paradise into a hub struggling to survive. Every detail even ones passing through the holes of intimacy, she wants to know little mistakes worth forgiving, her advice stimulates the wife to go. The mercy of mama’s laps the man's head solely depend forgetting his first priority of whom he should always defend. Arguments run through the house fittings to give 24 hours of night disappearance of this external commander once again restores the light.

Indeed it's hard to live too close to one's in-laws. Often "Mama" feels someone is trying to take away her precious baby. She feels she has to compete for his/her affection. Well Done my friend. Very well expressed, God Bless, JB
