Parrot-fashion

A poem

She wanted to be a writer

Imitating me instead of supporting me

Throughout her entire life

She never uttered a single original word

She merely repeated

Other people's stories

Controversial and immoral

Behaviour that earned her enemies

From opposing camps

What kind of mother acts like that?

Only one with an insatiable thirst for power

Craving control, intrigue, and waging war

Instead of building peace -

The very thing any mother would desire

In her own family home

But not her

She prepared for this

By clearing her mind of all words

Sinking into an amnesia so deep

That she lost command

Over her own brain

Such a sad story in the end
