Need To Know Poem by Martin Lochner

taken from your
father...

look after her

is it enough that i am strong
that i can fight your fears

strangle them behind the corner
when you do not see me

is it enough that i am powerfull
that i can force your every need

blackmail them in the dark
when i left home to buy the
evening news

unsuspecting terrible softness
nestling and dozing in my arms

i am looking out for her...
only this she needs to know
