    Momma Why

    Momma why wasn’t I loved
    Why did you let him push and shove
    Why didn’t you stand up for us
    Were you afraid of the fuss

     Did you not have the
    Instinct to protect your kids
    You just blamed us
    No matter what we did

     You should have tried
    To get us some kind of help
    And not let us
    Wind up with all those welps

     Hard to imagine for the
    Sake of all your pride
    You covered it up and
    Tried to hide

     If you would have just
    Shown us a little bit of love
    It would have been the
    Most import thing we would

     HAVE EVER THOUGHT OF

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
