Caught in dereliction
of duty, kids struggle
along, suffering with
school projects, I am
failing my duties
A warning issued-
but where to start
asserting authority-
love has no place
in cold reality
Duty dictates rules
and regulations, I
should take control
scream at them all
issue directives
Make them comply-
ash on my head in
abject despair at
their illegal desire
to be alive
A benign wife and
mother, calm and
content with life, is
an abomination,
anathema to
Every self-righteous
husband and caring
parent...
