From The Grave
A poem in her defense.
Your mother just turned over again
In her grave when she heard
The lies they said...
If I told you they are lying
Would you believe me?
Or are you still afraid of what everyone is thinking?
Your mother was very brave...
"Time heals all wounds"
She loved to say
But time is what she didn't have
To correct the mistakes
Your father purposely made.
Even now, he frantically
Refuses to correct them still
With all this time that's left to kill.
For weeks he's tried relentlessly
And asked 'the best' to silence me...
Turns out, 'this one' they cannot kill...
To 'divide and conquer'
Has been their major tactic
But now their major blunder.
They cry 'retreat!'
But refuse to surrender
Their lot decreed-
'Return to sender!'
There are things your mother said
Truths of crimes against her made
Covered cleverly the 'church way'.
With all forgetting that one day
The truth will find it's way
To the pulpit, on any given Sunday.
