Bury It Deep

The abuse and the anguish
The beatings, the bruises
   Hide it away
   Bury it deep

The hatred, the horror
The heartbreak, the hurt
   Hide it away
   Bury it deep

The screams and the shouts
The sorrow, the blame
   The scratches, the scars
   The sin and the shame

   The taunts and the threats
   The trauma, the tears
The violence, the viciousness 
The wailing, the wickedness

   Hide it away
   Bury it deep

Perhaps this should be my last poem. Can I do better than the two words you wrote about this little ditty? -- I don't think so. Thanks a million, Timothy!! Best wishes, Gershon

The rhythm has an anger or righteous indignation that is very effective given the subject. Well done...

Much appreciated. Do I owe you anything for such wonderful praise? (Send the bill to Gershon Wolf Poems and Quotes. LOL). Seriously, thank you so much. Your kind words have really made my day today. :) gw

Awesome, Gershon. Might i suggest the deepest abyss of some deserted corner of a long forgotten ocean....
