Memory card in the camera lives in That black bag of painted trinkets Shopping carts Tossing coins like a recalling cup Unresolved Evangelists Trading dreams for nightmares Silence passing through empty streets There are no workers in the fields Where loss comes to sit Tugging on her breast & Pressing against her, like childhood I try to understand, why she is The lives she’s sold to Good Will In a false grip of Decomposing slug Her Cosmopolitan world A world of beauty trades Life for Death at no cost A drug war with the world She is the Torturer Selling fast food denial Dysfunctional parenthood Feeds on the disheartened Like hungry storm troopers Ancestral wounds with legal aspects Siren calls of anger Communicator of bondage & harassment Loss of confidence Stains on her child’s dress Beyond the well Dismantled strongholds Betrayal jaws that lock and cut The anger she feels, but doesn’t know why? Self-absorbstion & lies and the Child cries and Children cry Secrets live in walls History repeats itself… My heart goes out to anyone who is or was abused, living in a dysfunctional home is tragic, but...it is “not” an excuse or license to treat others the same way and I refuse to dismiss abusive behavior on those grounds....we all have had difficult lives, at one time or another, but, it does not warrent bad behavior...lies, causing so much disruption and pain in the lives of others...using people for a free ride? For the pain you cause, the lives you so affect, will one day be your own demise… In the meantime, your breeding more abusive parents...because you cannot give what you don't know.... This country so lacks education... Sorry, this is more of a vent then anything else [This message has been edited by LeeJ (12-13-2004 02:42 PM).] |

Yes, very corrosive behaviour that unfortunately most often repeats itself. A very painful subject to write about but you vented your feelings very effectively. Peace, Love & Harmony, Linda |

Lee J I support your words in everyway but any child sees and needs to learn what is right and wrong although that varies with the length of a politician "seeking election's" foot. Kids nevertheless do know what is right and wrong after a certain age. Good words. Dave |

Sad, but so true. There is so much of this kind of thing going on....and a lot of it is hidden from the world. Sometimes people shield the ones they love by not telling about the abuse. They think they are helping the abuser by not reporting them, but in reality, they are only hurting them. Hugs,  |
