Carbuncle Unbidden and Unwelcome

Wounds drained, opened, ingrained, rained, sprained, trained In the midst of a family loss Recriminations canned, fanned, planned, tanned To fight the brute boss Dressed up as justice cause Disguised as implementation of lopsided justice Pursued to discredit the family rose Oppressed in the sluice Where survival sap flows In a bid to catalyze vitality Where Providence fluid blows The breath of consolidation and maturity Grown in decades In a lubricated life Ought to celebrate serenades That from each member recognizes contributions made by the wife As mother, family front fulcrum, the linchpin Whose love the family unites In her role as family queen Whose care ignites, delights and invites Family unity, amity, affability and agility Family loft and love Family stability, serenity and sagacity In a family born, built and blessed from above To bless dad, mom and children With ever growing faith Ever strengthening bonds with brethren In a dearth Of gangrene gifts and ribald rifts The family veers away from In twists and mists The family considers unbidden and unwelcome.
