Sing Us A Dirge : #weekendfreewrite
Source
Banging harder, baby cries
Mum's ashamed, mama depressed
Dad banged harder, he knew no shame.
...
...
Cursive words, downward roll
Would they open, dad growled
Just after midnight, she opened
Punch bag immediately, mum became.
...
...
Cry me a river, help my plight
Mama too old to help, mum suffered
Neighbours came to help
Too late, she slumped.
...
...
Sing me a dirge, children of abused
Sing us an homily, let them know
Sing us a sorrow, we the abused
Sing us an ode, we the shamed.
...
...
Brother, let's cry together
Our past has haunted us, cry
But if we dare look up and smile
Maybe it will all go away.
...
