I wonder what she'd think,
if she bothered to look
her face contorted,
in anger
I'm behind her at the light
and can see her
pointing
screaming
while still smoking
I can't see her victim
crouched next to her
I'm sure
it's her child
who else would you
treat that way
just because you can.

Tina...
I've thought the very same thing!
There's much inspiration in Real life!
Excellent 55 My Dear.
You Rock Baby...
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End. Galen
just because you can...
hmph. tsk tsk.
oh snap...i might have folled her just to let her have a bit of finger pointing myself...hmm...nice 55.
Though I didn't like what you wrote about, I'm sure it's true somewhere, and you did it well.
you did a great job with this. especially that last line.
very scary 55, i too can be a horrible yelling monster. i work very hard not to be that person. great 55
I am sad...because what you write is such real reality. GREAT '55' to keep some of us thinking, remembering, praying.
PEACE!
Good capture in words.
Come meet Bonnie and Butterfly when you have a minute. http://acamphosthousewifesmeanderings.blogspot.com/2010/09/meet-bonnie-and-butterfly.html
That is right. You can only get those over whom you have the power to!
I'll bet she throws the butt out the window too! (A pet peeve of mine!)
Have a great weekend!
disturbing and all too true 55. wonderful job.
oh, ouch! that poor child... do you think she knows what she's doing? or is only reacting to some imagined uprising or something - I hurt for both of them.
a deeply thought-provoking 55, thank you!
Your poem painted a powerful picture in my mind. So sad that this really happens every day to children.
Oh my gosh! Leaves me wanting to sock her in the mouth!!!! I've seen this woman in the mall, at the bank, in the grocery store, at the playground......and hated her.
I adore this. I want to run over her. And not in a good way.
Grrrr @ people who bully other people; whether it's women like this bullying their kids or adults bullying those over whom they have power! Beautifully written poem!
Makes you want to give her a good slap, doesn't it?
powerful piece, lovely done!
