Perspective Comments

Starkly different parental attitudes towards two siblings, one 'good' and one something viewed as far less. Need there be a reason? No, as in that child so tormented, no words can explain. 'Unfairness' is an extraordinarily weak term; 'injustice' isn't much better. Scars and pain say it better, but nowhere near as adequately as this straightforward and powerful (and painfully tearful) piece of verbal art. ... a tragedy, every day a damned tragedy. This is a very fine poem! ! !
