Poem
“And then I turned,
my mind truly burned
said,’What kind of a sick mother
would go coerce
a child of hers
to sleep with her own half-brother?!

“ ‘You are a fool,
and a mother cruel,
no matter what my father did!
To prostitute,
and try to pollute,
and to do it with your own kid?!’

“And she did say,
‘To make that man pay
I’d go much further than all that.’
So I declared,
‘Then you should despair,
since our evening did go off track.

“ ‘Your daughter ran,
so your vile plans
were foiled before they could start!
And your evil
unable to kill
the virtue that lay in her heart.’ “

“On hearing this
both her eyes did twitch,
she screamed loud and pulled out a knife.
He change was swift,
I made a quick shift
and found myself fighting for life.

“She slashed so quick,
I nearly got nicked,
she clearly meant to make me dead.
I grabbed a lamp
and swung like a champ,
smashing it clear across her head.

“Called the police,
they showed up quickly,
clearly saw it was self-defense,
I told the tale
and then I did wail,
‘Please find where my half-sister went!’ “

“It seemed to me
that this tragedy
could not get that much worse than this,
but just past four
they did find her corpse,
she had thrown herself off a cliff.

“By old Route One
she had gone and flung
herself to the gorge far below,
saw no escape
from her awful fate,
decided on that way to go.

“After all this
life seemed quite amiss,
Took many months to work it out,
this secret cold,
family not told,
I did not share this all out loud.

“Ma and sister
never heard a word,
went to their graves praising my dad,
a lie, I know,
but bringing them low
did feel to me equally bad.

“But I felt rage
for his sinful ways,
and the costs that they did extract:
Two people dead
because he mislead…
You can’t get away from the fact.

“Not many years
passed before more tears,
penicillin came, thankfully
the syphilis
that made all amiss
could be killed now quite easily.

“And that’s what hurts,
made it all feel worse,
she could be with us here and now,
a life unlived,
and what could she give
if a few more years were allowed.

“All was cut down
by a hatred crowned
with a mad craving for pay-back,
two lives destroyed,
and I just avoid
being killed by the slash and hack.

“I knew it seems
like a thing obscene,
a decadent, soap-opera feat,
but it’s our past,
so I now am tasked
telling you why you must not cheat...”
