Child Custody After Divorce

The Environment of Prosody 
Suits not ‘Courts’ stand on Child custody,
Silly scratching up some melody 
For what to a party is bloody 
And might only excuse Threnody…

Its pains to father losers much stiff, 
Court rooms they leave like some Child Thief 
For - yes - a child is its mum’s fat hope 
For Alimony - its dad’s steep slope; 
Ex-wife for New Lover and mattress, 
Alimony-Paying Guy for stress,
As long waiting for Child’s Eighteen Years
Better done in a mourner’s wear…
 s
Not always nice story: bank account
And courts do not seem to this count;
All about a man honoring 
But, sure, the woman, coloring…
 
Oftenest child custody women’s
Till date what a compassionate law means.

Kids just become the ball battered between couples, with the court as the umpire. You can see why kids turn out with a chip on their shoulder.
