Poem
Daddy has gone missing
Lost his space at the dining table
Found it at the bar table
He will be home unstable
He staggers to the door unaware of what he is capable
The drink has taken over
He fights with the door and Mom goes over
Opens the door and the fight continues, not with the door this time.
Mom ended up a jumbled Mess on the floor, she shed, she cried, she was strong.
Been exposed to war, I have known war and alcohol as peace
Been growing with it, dreaming on it, the nightmares of the screams and cries of a mother.
She was poor and helpless, she could go nowhere
Because of the children, she had to stay, this was her reason
Just stay, for the sake of the children.
Better they grow in war, but not without a mother, she swore to stay.
She swallowed every pain, every loneliness, every tear went in.
He came home and demanded food
But the children have had nothing, 
Cry poor one, let the pain fade
Not in front of the children
Please not now 'Woun Para'.
Come and sleep, do not wake up the neighbors
But Jirani is awake and the children are watching.
Tears flowing, this is the trend till the children are grown
This is the trend till she can find a life of her own.
She has legs but she cannot run
She has hands, strength but she cannot defend herself
She has to ‘vumilia tu’ for the sake of the children
They need a father, just for the sake of the children
But the father is Not home, but she has to be the father
She does it for the sake of the children
They will grow, they must learn to love
They must learn to live with their families
They must never forget their places at home
They must always find home best
For the sake of the children.
She stays
But she has legs to run
She has the will to say enough
She can say No!
But she has to stay to teach her children
The importance of the dining Table.
In future they will meet one in life.
