As the Beast From Hell Runs Back To Her Alcohol

"AS THE BEAST FROM HELL RUNS BACK TO HER ALCOHOL." I look at her and know: If she had been loved by her mother during those nights without the sun, if she had been loved by her father during those days without the moon, she would have lived with a heart full of love to give. she questions God and wonders why her daughter searches through gnats of the night for doves of symphony. she destroys her daughter like her mother destroyed her. when I asked the beast from hell if she felt remorse for her iniquitous version of love toward her daughter, she replied: "if the bi??h is going to do it to me, I'm going to do it right back to her." the beast once told me that her mother would hit her in the face leaving bruises and marks. I once asked the beast from hell if she thought she was an exact copy of her mother. she said, "I'm nothing like my mother!" I wonder if her daughter with marks and bruises on her body and face, would agree on this Easter weekend. by: Chicano Eddie 4.21.19
