Cleave grief caught red-handed clever cleaver,
left-handed lesson learned, mother teaches
errant son property is theft to steal,
anarchy leads chaos, as believer
values childhood memories as valid,
eternal arguments inside his head.
Clever to grovel for mercy, the boy
lets tears run down his face, mother reaches
expiation, his tone sincere, her zeal
vindicates her vengeance, she takes no joy
exacting discipline, his face pallid,
remember memories never unshed.
Reveal the truth if truth be known, torture
engages the mind more than happy days,
varnished over by the horror, old age
entertains memories, summer scorcher,
astronauts landing on the moon, the haze
lifts to unveil naught worthwhile at that stage.
