Verisilimitude Vortex

Woven in a lava oven and driven into the pit of despondency Where light at the end of a tunnel dims Parents explode and implode as darkness swamps ascendancy Leading parents to wonder if their children curse their dreams. Challenges in meninges and syringes singe petrified parents Whose aspirations and predictions that wayward children tear Their world asunder in the midst of invectives, calumnies and taunts Drive detractors to wonder why pusillanimous parents children bear. Influenced, incensed and unbalanced in a variety of ways Children’s personalities somersault and assault Parents aspirations and predilections switching off rays Teeming with hope in a satire scope to brush aside meek manners taught. A shaft of light sometimes in parents’ shivering shrouds shines through As parents from their uncomfortable cocoons debunk secrecy In conversations with sent strangers to achieve a breakthrough That restores hope, clarity and on their torture tom-tom sprinkles mercy.
