Family Relationships

Maggot eaten flesh of family relationships
Putrid stench emanating from the sores
Our sense of right and wrong we justify
Hold our ground till the other person falls

Where love and affection rules
There exists no need to prove
Only the desire to remove the others pain
The sweet word “sorry” to say 

Should I say first or should it be you
Let us not wait to see where it all started
Lest the womb that brought us forth
Cries out “no more agony
