condemned

A condemned Family

Crammed in a 2 bedroom apartment,

Kids were 4 boys, 1 girl,

Many a day and night screams were heard,

Just another beating was shared,

Painful tears and hurt, eventually subsides,

An alcohol induced sleep is welcomed,

Mommy why does this happen?

God will protect us,

1 Son succumbed by self-suffocation,

Oldest personally destroyed changes name,

But the pain forever there, who is to blame,

Father dies, a final relief but sad,

Drug induced Number 4 burns in shame…..

For the remaining life will forever be the same,

Mommy why did this happen?

God was there….

But can’t be blamed,

This was a test,

One day the truth will unfold,

Those who did the hurt will be condemned and punished, 

For those who love and believe will always remain.
