Anger Poem by Sandra Martyres

You always said to forgive was divine
For me who trusted you that was fine
Until I accidently saw you in action
When you spewed venom at one faction
Of the community - for their only fault
When you passed by - they did not halt

You know Dad - I lost all respect for you
You did what we were'nt allowed to do
You lied to Mother almost everyday
Telling her that work kept you away
But that you loved and cared for us
So she needed to cope up without a fuss

When your affair with Lisa was revealed
From Mother I kept it carefully concealed
She'd have broken like my porcelain toy
And I'd have truly been an orphaned boy
So I just stored my anger in a large bin
Waiting for a chance to put you right in

As told to me by a young boy who hated his father - and is still coming to terms with his disturbed childhood
