D E a D O F T H E Family

Top of Form 1 DEAD OF THE FAMILY ????? I don’t know very much at all I know red means stop and green means go I don’t live in the deep south yet I have a southern drawl And I also know the things that I don’t know At first it was difficult admitting that fact To tell people that I’m not so wise Then I’d explain all the things which I’ve lacked Such as an untraditional upbringing I still despise Perhaps it’s the fact that everyone in the family has bruises Yet no one goes to the emergency clinic for aid And in this family there are no winners nor f*****g loses Everyone beats every one just for a miniscule mess he may have made Two ostensibly ordinary people are bringing their kids up with military rules There was a lawyer down the street but we could never nerve up and go We may be mistreated, mishandled but we’re no damn fools And as I said, the only thing I know is what I don’t know © (2011)….Phreepoetree
