how winter kills...
the rain and cold
keeps us inside
we suffer in boredom
and miss the beach
we're sick
again
me and my child
i can't remember
him going a week
without being sick
divorce is a death sentence
for the emotional well being of children
and this mental sickness
affects our health
sometimes
it takes a while
for me to digest news
about my child
what can a 10% dad do
for a child that demands 110%
from both parents
i feel like rameses
helplessly staring at his son
who slowly withers on his alter
suffering from the wrath of god
now at 5 percent on the growth chart
in the extreme percentile range
my child withers
from the wrath of his maternal family's
opposition to his father
my two year old child
with teeth less than a year old
already has cavities
and suffers from tooth pain
i'm 45 and have never had a cavity
or needed dental care
is it too much
to expect mothers
to prepare
three fresh meals a day
for a pre-schooler
many enlightened american women
would rather shop
and line up to protest such views
than cook for their children
while poor third world women
with no time or money
would beg for a chance to do so
and would consider it a sin
for women to be able to afford it
and not at least pay
to have fresh meals made
for young children
in our pursuit of wealth
and freedom
we have gained much
while placing our children
on rameses' alter
to the lord of darkness
