necessity


with parents
in eternal conflict
for children
financial necessity
can be a good thing

lack of money
limits both parents'
choices
and ability
to escape from marriage
and household relationship
and to break up
the child's family

with all humans
in perpetual conflict
most parents
who refuse to stay together
for the sake of their children
are grossly irresponsible
and deeply flawed

many mothers
who refuse to put up with
further conflict
with their child's father
fail to recognize
and understand
the true nature of conflict

why is this so

what does a history
of bad relationships
say about our own childhood
and family interactions

those who fail to understand the past
are bound to repeat it
again and again
furthermore
insanity is doing the same thing
over and over
and expecting a different result

mothers
who dispose of fathers
faster than a used tampon
loose all credibility
in making personal decisions
for their own children
because not only did they choose
the wrong person in the first place
but they willingly compounded their fatal mistake
by having children afterwards

to make matters worst
and to continue a pattern
of bad decision-making
mothers finally decide
to correct their original error
the one of choosing to go out
with the devil himself

and so on one fine day
they pack their bags and leave
the conflict-ridden pits of hell

but only after their children
have bonded with the evil man
and become attached
to the nightmarish place

alas
given where they are going
to the land
of personal loss
emotional pain
and childhood emptiness
the damned children
have an eternal longing
to put their parents together
and return
to mom's life in hell
but paradise to them

mom refuses
to live with the devil
nonetheless
lives each moment
with her own demons
in endless thought
in endless conflict
