World War You
Home symbolizes war;
The tearing apart of sanctum-
Retreating to bedrooms, to kitchens, to couches.
Little ears pressed to doors-
“Mommy, what’s a bitch?”
~*~
Drunken fathers, weeping mothers,
Trenches dug in living rooms
Grenades full of words-
“Good for nothing, worthless, helpless, hopeless”
Cannons shooting hate, anger, torture.
~*~
Biochemical warfare in the bedroom,
Toxic gas and “I-love-yous”
Leave you wondering if it’s really your fault
Hiding bruises behind tanks fashioned of makeup,
Masking the pain of “I’m sorry.”
