John Stroud Poems

Little boy sitting on a swing
as sad as can be.
Mother sitting in her car
she is a junkie.
...

You may hide the bottle
Under your bed.
Hide it from the world
But not from your head.
...

Put away the dishes.
Those are my wishes.

Not in a half. Not in an hour.
...

The Best Poem Of John Stroud

Twist With Love

Little boy sitting on a swing
as sad as can be.
Mother sitting in her car
she is a junkie.

Blond haired boy
trying to get his kicks.
Mom talking to a stranger
trying to get her fix.

Blue eyed boy
wants to stay and play.
Mom is ready to go
now that she's well for the day.

Lets go! Mom screams
with a glassy eyed smile.
Boy gets in the car
he cries for a while.

The police wont come
pull him away.
Because that 8 year old boy
will not say.

Mom drinks and does drugs
she leaves me alone.
I get nothing to eat
no one is home.

35 years of his life
went passed.
Two girls and a wife
happy at last.

No drinking or drugs
in that boys life.
Two beautiful girls
a wonderful wife.

No screaming or yelling
no fighting or slapping.
Not in his home
wont let it happen.

Just hugs and kisses
smiles you'll see.
That boy is now loved
by his own family.
