Hatred Never Felt So Good

Haphazard chaos became the norm. Attention Deficit Disorder brought the storm Throw in a little hyperactivity and boys. Rip roaring commotion and a disarray of toys. Every action challenged serenity. Drama pierced peaceful woodlands rowdily. Never did their pain elicit such hatred. Every shout was hurtful, unthinking, and mean. Vulnerability increased; love lost its sheen. Endless name-calling wrought two boy’s punches. Respectable young brothers forgot to love. Family split asunder by parental blunder. Excruciating pain filled their children’s brain. Love was offered; rejection brought hate. The children cried; victims of the state. Social services skillfully dismantled parental bonds. Ordering a gambit of activities; family love absconds. Guilty or not, it did not matter; love was marked. Opportunity to hate had opened every door. Ordinarily, the boys had been happy and respectful. Dismantled; hatred never felt so good.
