I thought at first this was about Archie Bunker, but I see this family is far more complicated.

Although the words are entirely different this brought to mind “When Doves Cry” by Prince. One of my favorites of his. This poem is also added to my favorites.

Deep and dark Freddie, but true of certain elements of this world - Still there is hope when upstanding people speak up. They can fool people some of the time but they can't fool them all of the time...Maria :)

Hello Freddie. Never did you stray from the title. Always do you make the reader think and pause to savor your message. Always do you write with depth and meaning. This entry is evident of that. I very much enjoyed your lines "evil is evil become" and "inherited death". Thank you for sharing your talent.

The whole plot here and out there is quite real and frightening. The matrix is unravelling.

Ain't it the truth, FRJ?! And Burglary begat Robbery. And Robbery begat Kidnaping. And Kidnaping begat Murder. And Murder begat Rape. And Rape begat Incest. And Incest begat a hydra-headed Master Brainiac Criminal, who, in turn, begat AI Gone Haywire...And these are the generations of Crime---Tractate Sin, Chapter 1, Verses... Adieu, O Oracle. Soon see you! :) gw
