Read Sage Sweetwaters posting called "REAR ENDED" and this came from that reading...FICTIONAL...?


Poem Artwork

Didn’t like being screwed,

At four years old then again at twelve,

Told if didn’t and could was being rude,

Bent over a low hanging shelve,

Banged then beaten with a belt,

To tighten up for the next,

A paltry five dollars as payment,

Forced, never gave consent…

 

Grew into same,

Bloody shame,

No fault of own,

Tore many a cavity,

With a great big bone,

Cared nothing other than getting a nut.

Thought those that took only to be a slut…

 

It came to pass,

Prison for same,

Hard though it was, changed,

His pain and regret still overwhelming,

From his family he was estranged,

For a long time he thought himself deranged,

No longer does he search for young ass,

Sits at home now and smokes his grass…

You don't own one cell in your body that is part of the person you were then. You are a brand new person almost every day!

Love ya!

Get off your old butt, and out of your rut,
And go for a walk on your Big Birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Bro.

A lot of us made mistakes, and childhood darn well contributes. Thankfully, we usually realize our bad stuff is bad.
