Poem Title:
Poem
behind of a supposed strong & mature “adult” who advertises to others their ability to “discipline” their child, lies a great fear stirring, which comes out in the actions taken to make that little child submit to their will from early on--- when rebelled against, the pusillanimous parent lashes out like a dictator trying to hold onto a dwindling empire forcing the young one to do as they are told, often doing their best not to laugh at what they believe to be the utter powerlessness of this being that they have dragged into this world without having gained permission to do so--- hiding behind religious babblings that cheer on those that beat the little one physically or psychologically all in the name of feeling powerful, so that when the “adult” comes home from a day of being ignored & disrespected in the work place or cast out in any number of the relationships with other human beings that they themselves have created as products of their own choices (so unlike the child they “discipline”), they can feel as if they still have an iota of control left in their lives--- that they can still mold something into what they want it to be without it launching a full attack upon them, from which they may never fully recover--- and though this may be the way that the “adult” was treated when they themselves were developing, such repetition only increases & prolongs the severe cycle of abuse, whose domino effect of violence & mental obliteration echoes throughout the rest of society smashing from hand to hand with so many acting as if this is a healthy way to treat others with so many acting as if this had to be done, while in reality this “adult” is the biggest coward of them all, having gotten into more than they bargained for, having not thought too long before producing another human being.
