Robert Sherriff - 'ME' 1961

Robert Lloyd Sherriff - Australian Poet, Author, Actor, and Model: American Historian. Robert Sherriff - 'ME' 1961 In the shadows of a childhood lost, Where crows cawed with voices crossed, Robert Sheriff bore the weight of pain, In a family's silence, cruelty reigned. Father's fists, like a tempest wild, Mother's eyes turned, averted, mild, In the darkness, young Robert stood, A soul consumed by violence's flood. The crows outside, their watchful eyes, Echoed the screams, the silent cries, As society's grip tightened strongly, Institutional abuse is a ghastly song. But Robert stood against the tide, His voice a beacon, no longer to hide, Injustice rendered, cruelty slain, His story is a testament, a survivor's gain. The crows may caw, the shadows loom, But Robert Sheriff, in his strength, consumes The darkness, the violence, the unjust night, With courage and resilience, he stands in the light.
