gleaming buckle
to dull black leather
porcelain skin
to its purple bruises
sugared lips
hide venom
an outstretched hand
into a clenched fist
the fairytale of a loving god
to the truth of the absconder
that sees all
and does nothing

OK, maybe I am crazy (dont answer that)
but God, Raph I see so much here:

what was once is gone
what is shouldnt be
what is said is a farce
a loving hand recoiled from
and the one at fault
being deluded by a watchful eye
of apathy:

the fairytale of a loving god
to the truth of the absconder
that sees all

the contrasts are a lead in to end lines

this sits by Sophia . . .

True, in reality, who can help us?
Only ourselves I suppose. It's not only Him who sees all and does nothing, there are only too many humans who do it to others, and themselves.

as we always say:
aaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh humans.
aaaaaargggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lazy god.

sigh.

this made me cower in the corner. I've been threatened many a time by the gleaming buckle. not pretty.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

oh the welts a well applied leather belt can leave....I wore them well. At a young age I may not have known what Agnostic meant, but I knew what it felt like...

Aenimal, love you and your writes.

I understand what you write, Raph. I just can't feel the pain you feel although I can imagine.
I am one of those lucky ones
who felt loved and rarely got reprimanded unless it was for something my brothers did and we would all be punished for those
(they told good fibs)and I am much older than you, then the belt was a normal way to punish, but my father would just send us to our rooms, instead.

I would hate to have to carry those burdens of such pain and hurtful times.

The contrasts, like whispers, yell the message. A painful one.
