Poem ~ How Dare You
18Sep2006 Filed under: Posts Author: DeanThis is my first poem in… jeez, probably over 5 years. Hope you like it.
==========================================================
How dare you.
How dare you abandon a little girl, a girl of your own seed;
How dare you leave her to cry in the arms of anyone other than yourself, ignoring heed.
How dare you cause her to suffer more misery and strife than yourself;
How dare you neglect your parental responsibilities in favor of anything else.
How dare you make her cry for hours at a time, holding on to memories that she cherishes so;
How dare you keep your hold on her, yet not starve to see her glow.
How dare you ruin another child’s life;
How dare you disregard what you know in your heart is right.
How dare you.

Hi. I'm Dean. Welcome to Dean(ish). I don't blog nearly as much as I used to, but I'm trying to get better. What do you expect when I have a full-time job, a wife, two kids, a cat, a fish, a leopard gecko, and a (semi-recently manifested) lack of creativity? At least I have a Twitter now. You can also check me out on Netvibes and Facebook. View my "complete" profile.
