Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Favorite So Obviously Not Slam

When once my Kayleigh

And Bianca asked

Uncky Chris why is our sister
Schade treated different better
than us

I had to hide a tear welled and my
eye's glassed

As truthful the honest answer was

She is and was the blue eyed 
golden child

And still today my replies both
hurts and stings

Because what is one to supposed
to say put in that situation

And given my beautiful niece's
are not fool's

Otherwise why would they have
felt the need to raise the question

And they do know as do i

My retort and response will
be a lie scrambling to pave over

They will never be treated the
same as the sister they refer
to as she called Princess

Because sadly she is the one
prized and loved most above
of them all

And thought i understand and
accept we all amongst us have
our favorites

Please dear god never make it

So damn patent

Children feel the need to ask
