Mother...
bloodied...
crouched in a corner

I lay beaten...
bloodied...
dizzied.

Whiskey and beer stench fills the air.

Vomit....
floor, walls
carpet.

Mother...
matching me tear for tear

Screaming...
crying...
bedroom.

Sister...
tortured...
two years now

Every weekend when Daddy gets paid.

Two of her eight years
terror...
pain

I'm no match...
ten years old.

Mother...
weak...
fears for us all.

'Hell Is For Children' becomes a reality.

'Daddy...please don't.'
sister cries.
slap...
punch...
bed springs squeaking.

'God, if you're real, please stop this madness.'

God is...
deaf...
our little secret.

Every weekend when Daddy gets paid. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 43 [informant] => DIOGENES [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

an extremely difficult poem to comment on. Sounds like a future episode of Nightline and Nancy Grace. Brutally clear and concise. The news is full of sad stories like this, and sometimes it feels as though the problem is about epidemic. You covered it very effectively here. Still, a very difficult subject. tfs

Heart wrenching but very powerful.
Alcohol and it's content is definitely a home wrecker.
I know that to be facts. The other things ones hears here,(to each his own). Can destroy many hearts, souls, etc.
It goes on and on but still needs to be heard.
Your writing just reaches and grabs the reader and is what we strive, all writers is to capture ones readers.
Everything of yours so far does this.
Fantastic writing.
blessings,
emy
