Poem
Dear Mother who are you? To your children your life wasn't true. You sent us out the door to play, And made it a point to tell us to stay, So you could do your cocaine, To get rid of the struggles of your pain. Dear Mother who are you? You and your husband beat us black and blue. As children all we felt was fear, And every lash was an extra tear. To us you constantly lied,. And you were never there by our side. Dear Mother who are you? Did you not ever get the clue, That what you were doing to us was wrong, And in your home we didn't belong. Your husband constantly told us to be quiet, You should have told him to be the one to try it. Dear Mother who are you? Did that same man beat you too? So ashamed you hung your head in defeat, And let that man throw your kids in the street! As children we felt very alone, We were beat, And from room to room we were thrown. Dear Mother who are you? Why didn't you take care of us when we had the flu? You were to busy trying to get high, While DFS was there telling us to say good-bye. Was that man worth the dance and song, That caused you to loose us for so very long? Dear Mother who are you? Did your father rape you to? My step father raped me, And that you refused to see. He did it every night, You said I was wrong and he was right! Dear Mother now do you see? How we would cry and plea!? Now we are older, And alot more bolder. We can speak up and tell you, To your children just how you were really untrue!
