To Prick The Festering Boil

Cowardly Motherfuckers

Cowardly Motherfuckers
no holding back now
let’s be clear
every single time
he screamed at
threatened
pushed
shoved
threw
yanked
kicked
slapped
punched
hit
or otherwise emotionally tortured
MY young
beautiful
innocent
vulnerable children
that cowardly motherfucker
should have been charged with assault
and taken away
and that’d be getting off easy

every single time
my ex-wife allowed
that cowardly motherfucker
to scream at
threaten
push
shove
throw
yank
kick
slap
punch
hit
or otherwise emotionally torture
OUR young
beautiful
innocent
vulnerable children
or did those things herself
always denying
every single time
she became a cowardly motherfucker too
and should have been charged
with neglect assault child endangerment
and taken away

the very first time
should have been
the end of the story
