Absolution

is out of the question.

I yelled at her.

Like a true man.

Said many unfair things.

Like a true man.

The kids cried. I yelled at them.

Like a true man.

I just hope,

they all forgive

me.

I don' t wanna lose them.

I love them.

If family is war -

why can' t I be Gandhi?

But then again... didn' t his actions lead to separation and independence?

I' d rather stay

in prison.

And yell every once in a while, once a year.

Like a caged animal.
