Mum's Anger

Her angry voice was knocking my head,
The day was very sunny and bright,
I went to buy something,
A mum was shouting at her child,
He was forcing her to buy his choice,
But she bought a same cheap product,
She was very angry,
The price was only two pounds difference,
I can’t afford it, silly boy.
I remembered as my Nan told me,
I was very naughty in my childhood,
I pissed on others in many occasions, 
I pulled their hair,
I spat on them many times,
They bent on me to touch my soft face,
My mum also cried on me,
Many occasions, ‘she caged me with her cat,
I still remember, she caged me with a neighbour’s Dog,
And she beat me up.
I touched my scar.
I never touched my children,
I was very frustrated,
Late night, I saw her in the pub.
She drank more than five pints, 
and smoked about a packet,
I was surprised,
She was  the same,
Her child was crying on her for two quid only.
My wife many times objected me,
Why should I n’t stop them?
When they are doing something wrong,
But I always advised them, 
When they are in listening mood.
