A Mothers Epitaph

A Mothers Epitaph


As I listen to the dirges
drifting by in gentle strains
I'm carried back to childhood
I am now a child again.

A hand is on my shoulder
I am by my mother's side
But I know it's only make-believe
for my mother cast us by.

now your day of judgement
has finally come.
I will never get to ask you,
just one question, Why.

You battered us you bruised us
every day you mentally abused us,
but even worse than that, you let 
our own father use us.

I wonder if you ever knew the word
Filicide.
Or counted the times
you knocked my head from side to side.

Now as I stand here one last time
by you side,
I shall shed no tears 
for the mother who never knew me,
like a pane of glass, you just
saw through me.

Baby Dreams

The dreaming fetus foresaw his future life
His mother woke roused by the vision from her womb

Her cherished child now cushioned inside
Would shame his family name
Ravishing virgins

His mother wept
Wondering what a life was worth
She foresaw her labor pains and heard the victims’ screams
If she bore the boy
She too would surely be guilty
Damned by her DNA

Sobbing at her filicide sin
She grabbed a bottle of gin and stepped into the steaming bath…

…And somewhere a dreaming baby girl now slept peacefully.


Filicide

A lady murdered her son because she couldn't afford to send him to school.
She wasn't only a stark raving mad lunatic, she was also a fool.
After she murdered her son, she killed herself too.
What she did to him was an incredibly evil thing to do.

I wouldn't have expected such behavior from a psychiatrist.
If you want my opinion, that evil ***** will not be missed.
Murdering a defenseless child has to be the world's biggest sin.
When a shrink commits murder, it proves that it's a lost world that we live in.

(SADLY THIS IS A TRUE STORY.)
