Love and Anger
banging, kicking, screaming
waiting!
outside crying and begging
banging, kicking, screaming
waiting!
inside there is safety, comfort and warmth
pleas are deaf ignored and disregarded
knocking, ringing, pleading
nothing!
nothing but a wall holding love for ransom
black and empty sky fills him with apprehension
gait prepared, brings nothing but fright
a child sits staring into the night
a child sits staring into the night
banging, kicking, screaming
into the night a child must enter
selfless anger heartbroken and torn
all used to punish and scorn
banging, kicking, screaming
waiting for rescue
love and understanding
a wall holds ransom a child worthless and dis-invited
a wall holds ransom a child worthless and dis-invited
the night patiently awaits
a child confused with innocence and anger
banging, kicking, screaming
waiting!
alone in the dark
a child waits
for someone to hear and sit beside him
