Mysterious Quirks-Book 9

~Mysterious Quirks~

Come enter my mind and take a little tour
So we figure out why life smells like manure
Come on take a seat and then strap yourself in
Hang on tight and let The Journey now begin

Look over here and see the child with a tear
Afraid of their own parents anytime they’re near
But upon becoming older and growing sick of that
They beat them both severely with a baseball bat

Now over there’s a woman with a blank stare
She doesn’t say a word and better not dare
Her husbands abusive and leaves her battered
Until she pulls a gun and his control is shattered

Did you notice the child who didn’t seem wild
But never displayed a grin or even smiled
They were picked on in school nearly all of their life
Then they walked down the hallway with a long knife

We could go on and on but our time is gone
To see more look past your front yard lawn
They say for every action there is a recourse
We each make mistakes but do we feel remorse

Hey did you notice everything we saw today
Came back like a wheel in some sort of way
Remember life has its mysterious quirks
And no one knows exactly how it works
(Book 9 ©2009 "The Journey Back to the Beginning")

I could go on and on but our time is gone. :-) 
God Bless and Best Wishes to You...Peace
