[hometext] => Abuse is a terrible thing!!!
[bodytext] => Hush now children, he's on his way We don't want to upset daddy again today He's had a long day working for us And doesn't want to come home to a fuss. Hush now children, he's sleeping now. She strokes him gently on his brow Black marks around soulful eyes Make up is not sufficient disguise. Hush now children, he needs to eat Get him some slippers for his feet. Quietly, slowly we do our tasks Anything that our mother asks. Hush now children, go clear his plate A quiet night at home would be great Cowering our eyes as if to hide Knowing we have no place for pride. Hush now children, he's going out for a drink We know what will happen, our hearts sink. She sits in her chair quietly waiting Nervously toying with her wedding ring. Hush now children, he comes through the door His coat comes off, thrown to the floor, He staggers to his chair into which he slumps He calls to our mother, our hearts thump. Hush now children, it's time for your bed Times like this fill us all with dread. From our rooms we could hear it all begin Covering our ears from this terrible sin. Hush now children, she said as we cried The ambulance men carried her gently inside, Under flashing lights she was taken away, We had all been expecting this terrible day. Hush now children, as we cried by her bed He didn't mean to do it, it was what I said, It was my own fault I said the wrong thing, Her frail body had taken quite a beating. Hush now children, all will be fine As I gently stroked her fine hairline. I wanted to tell her but dare not say The police have taken that bastard away. Hush now children, everything is okay Slowly but surely she was slipping away We held her hands as she passed on Hush now mother, the pain is gone.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
