[title] => Our Little One Will Lose
[time] => 2007-06-06 09:56:03
[hometext] => Divorce is so short-sighted and so destructive of the little ones
[bodytext] => Our Little One Will Lose Our Little One loses either way... regardless who is awarded permanent physical custody, she loses... she will lose... there can be no doubt, if the present course continues unabated, it will be unavoidable, Our Little One will lose... there is no other option for her, other than losing... the only unanswered question for Our Little One is how badly will she lose... such a shame, experiencing this loss, and only eight and a half years old... there is no comfort in the knowledge millions have experienced just such a loss… cynicism oozes from the claim, kids are resilient, or, there is sufficient redundancy, kids survive... Our Little One is not just any other, when she loses, our little baby loses... she loses... survival is not good enough for our Our Little One... whatever the custody decision is, either way, she loses... Our Little One will not win in either case... "Enough already!" you say... Our Little Innocent will soon say the same, and just as this poem deafly forges on, her pain will just as deafly forge on... In the midst of all our efforts to avoid discomfort, elude pain, circumvent anxiety, and evade fear, it needs be noted, Our Trusting Child will be able to avoid, elude, circumvent, and evade, neither the discomfort, nor the pain, nor the anxiety, nor the fear, this decree of divorce has placed in her path... as her parents did to survive amidst all their pain and degradation, to survive, she too, will live a distorted reality, this fits comfortably within the defining boundaries of, Our Little One will lose... she must lose... we have given her no other choice but to lose... she will lose... she cannot win... this totally dependent child will suffer loss... in her innocence she will experience defeat... a portion of her spirit will be squandered… a measure of her energies exhausted… her trust and confidence crippled… her hopes consumed… her fears fed… and in its absence, her smile, made just that much more precious... what we work so hard to avoid, Our Child cannot... what we obsessively strive to escape, Our Child cannot... all that we tirelessly endeavor to circumvent, Our Child will have no choice but to endure... our perceived gain, is Our Child’s certain loss... ...as many times as there are stars in the sky, the gods have sat idly by, chatting, sipping their afternoon tea, while madness strips the innocence from the innocents... Damn! ...why would I dare entertain the hope, my Child’s innocence would be held in any greater regard... ...and so, barring the intervention of a greater diety, though one of us, may, in a sense, perhaps, win, for Our Child, there is only one option: Our Little One will lose. No parent, having caused the spilling of their innocent child's blood, and thus betraying the sacredness of their own flesh, will feel Love’s warmth again, except the blue flames of catharsis, purify their soul. Kyrie Eleison. rko march thirteenth, two thousand, six two, eleven, p. m.

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. ©
