Just another sad day in South L.A.

It was a cruel deed Mother naming you Misery Father seconding the motion Back alley justice solved half the problem Penitentiary claimed the other Big girls don’t cry over spilt milk Especially the kind that only produces orphans Detectives say the apartment has been cleared So you and your sisters can go home now Social services will check on you Friday After school Separating the three of you is not decided Depends on what the Judge says And the landlord too Rent’s 8 weeks overdue Still, you’re not alone For now Embrace your sisters and revel In the company Misery loves it What else can she do?

Compelling poem, Patrick. Is it based on fact? Sounds like something that might happen in any city in the USA.

This sounds like it might be something from the L.A. headlines, maybe even bigger than that, but I'm not familiar with it.... (didn't show up on my sports page)

I like the way your poems so often call attention to and put a spin (often comical) on things from the news. I also like that this one took the serious route, not a joking matter....

Thanks Dick

"Misery". I don't think it's in the name but how she is brought up. Name doesn't matter; attitude and personal responsibility do.
Good poem, ol' pal...
And thank you for all the gas yesterday

True or false, matters not. What matters is that this scenario is happening on a daily basis throughout the land. Sad write . . .

I was going to joke about this, but it is too sad. �Can't we all get along.� Doesn't seem to apply to the human race. If we don't have a full life, we resort to escapism. Escapism usually results in misery. A vicious cycle few escape.

I guess a name Misery is a sad indicatin of the life she was born into....such a tragic story that is the story of far too many children everywhere...Well done, Patrick!
