All In the Family



Daughter crime
hooking up with felon Father time
Both got incestuous, crooked desires in mind
Two thieves in a thug hug, 
secrecy intertwine conspiracy vine bind 
Mother brood 
raising a wild pack of dog sharks
to feed on 
minnow murmuring moods
of bottom dwellers street schooled
Imprinting runt dorsal vig tales
with a devouring loan interest attitude
Like father, like daughter
Evil is, evil become
Like mother, so are the sons
Wicked poison flower, wicked petal blossoms
Family of privileged gangsters;
from rotten fruit, spoiled seeds sprung
DNA genie-ology:
witches ~ warlocks conceived 
by blood occult umbilical wizardry
Inherited death
will be all in the family
Cursed wealth,
it will estate all in the family
Snake in the grass grifter grafted stealth
give get you 
adopted into this viper family,
so devilishly easy
Destiny rooted in brimstone soil,
be any branch from this evil tree

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
