Daddy
an ode to an abusive father,
who let his daughter,
marinate in blood,
garnished with salt,
belt-beaten, to let the flavors sink in.
for they were waiting for a guest.
a guest,
who let his daughter,
marinate in blood,
garnished with salt,
belt-beaten, to let the flavors sink in.
with a bottle of hennessey,
he made her hate all the men she sees.
with a broken bottle of hennessey,
DADDY PLEASE!
the drunk maestro begins his daily masterpiece,
decades of drug-fueled rages,
this has been going on for ages,
his stage, my cage,
throws me around,
a rag doll,
back-stage,
front-stage,
and off-stage.
beast belonging to the stone-age,
mouth filled with hatred,
and bad language.
save me,
he's been ash and dust,
for year number thirty three.
but he's not gone.
daddy is sitting on his arm-chair,
belt in one hand, bottle in other,
scum of the earth,
covered in the blood of mother.
daddy is everywhere.
