Angry Parents


Their parents fight every day
sometimes over nothing at all,
the children can't hide away
from the fighting behind closed doors,
the parents are supposed
to know better than to
fight and argue in front
of their tearful children.

They turn their anger
toward their children,
they slap them around,
scream and yell at them,
call them vulgar names,
the children are the
innocent victims in all
the conflict surrounding them.

The children wonder why
all this is happening to them?

It's bad enough that the parents
have to scream and fight with eachother
when the children are around,
but turn around and take
it out on them?

What is this world coming to?

The children have to go to school
and explain to their teachers and friends
why they have bruises all over them.

The children get too scared to go home,
as the day of school ends,
they are in fear to have
the anger between their parents,
taken out on them again.
