Ingratitude Waltz Abb

INGRATITUDE WALTZ How could you give me such extreme distress While my care for you has always been so strong Did I not show where you were going wrong? When you spent such toil on your pathetic writing I enlightened you how you were wasting time Put you straight and got you back again in line The expression of ideas you took delight in But you wilfully rejected all of mine Your rebelliousness it really was a crime Don’t you know that you need me to make your judgement For yours is only giving me vexation Can’t be trusted to make self determination You would still be in religious cult induction If I hadn't made a plan for your salvation For your own sake had to use incarceration With your protests diagnosed as bipolarity Shrinks insisted drugs and ECT were kind Would bring you to more compliant frame of mind And yet you now show such a lack of gratitude All my caring seems to be misunderstood Yet I've always done what's purely for your good Contest: As easy as ABB Sponsor: Nina Parmenter

In my mind I hear a dark but syrupy voice and the tormentor of your poem brushes the hair from my eyes and picks the lint off my clothes and oils my chains.... The few people I have known who believe they are judge and standard, feel a heavy burden to straighten things out. Miserable situation. Creepy good write :)
