Shhhh, Don't Tell Mother ~*Marge Tindal*~ Past recriminations playing ping-pong in my head my God there were times I truly wished you dead Too long the why of total deny Too late the tears of cradled fears that fell from childhood eyes Evil spawns the same-alike if given half-a-chance But I'll not go to Satan's lair to watch you burn-in-dance For it is written that you shall writhe for the evil of your deeds Burn, burn ... please, please burn for you are Satan's seed~ ~*~ ~Spilling dark ink as a chapter of my 'Peel Of Reveal' series~ *Please remember that the poetess may not always be the poem ... but someone is* ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com [This message has been edited by Marge Tindal (07-24-2003 04:43 PM).] |

Dear Marge: This is quite a departure from your usual writes. Has such dark overtones and I hope is not from personal experience. Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Marge, This is indeed frightening, especially if this was a real scenerio to a small child. Hugs, Marti |

Ah, yes. The story may not be that of the poet, but is undoubtedly the story of someone. Captivating write. Conjures up all kinds of emotions!  Linda |

Friends~ Having mentored for years with young children, I can tell you that it is indeed a dark side of so many childhoods. Never, ever should a child, or child-turned-adult, be afraid of the anger and hatred toward the monster who would perpetrate such dispicable deeds. Just next door, or down the street ... there is a child being sexually abused right now. The scars stay for a lifetime. I am hoping that this piece helps to give them voice to say 'I didn't do anything ... YOU did ... and I hate you for what you did.' I have had it bring tremendous relief to those who were 'afraid' of the tears and the feelings of hatred toward their abuser. My apprecition to those of you brave enough to have left your comments on this one~ Sincerely~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie girl, darling sister with a heart as wide as the ocean and as loving as HE is, what can I say but that this is truly amazing writing. Its true too often that sexual abuse is swept under the carpet, its not a nice subject so people won't talk about it. But if we don't talk about it how can we stop it? The only way to bring this dark and wicked act to justice is to show we are not afraid to speak out when we know something is wrong. And darling one YOUR voice echoes with love and clarity. THANK YOU for this one darling heart sister YOU are an amazing and outstanding writer and forever Mushy    Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Sometimes it takes an adult pen to make known the voice of the little child, one who may be terrified to speak for themselves. Oh, Marge, what you wrote here is so needed by the little ones who have been abused, neglected, and hurt. They need a voice, and I applaud you for giving us these insights. Thank you, ~V~ I speak from the Voice Of Experience |

I'm glad this isn't really about you! But you spoke the truth in it nonetheless.  ~Elizabeth Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone... |
