Disfunction

How can parents give children what 
they need; something they did not 
receive?

They do their best with what they 
know;  while their children grow.

They grow up as broken vessels;
broken vessels they shall remain.

Generation after generation, dis-
function continues to grow;
for this is what they sow.

Pain and suffering they will see,
until they ask God in Heaven, to 
set them free.
