Gray Elephant
There's a gray elephant in the room
Out of mouth of babes truth zooms
Saying what everyone's thinking brain bloom
I only recall domestic violence as gloom
I was a tot when I walked up to demi-god
Could have been humbled by parental rod
I wanted to know why was he so mean to grannie
Why was it so loud why did he scream
Now that I am old I recall the light
From the bedroom that very night
Maybe forgiveness in her eyes
Maybe livid in his until my cry
He looked down as I looked up
Perhaps he found in me innocent love
He laughed and at that the yelling ceased
I was only two but he listened to me.
