Dick...you asked...Pandora's box has been opened....

 

It hung around

On the back of the chair

Waiting for us to make

One wrong move.

 

Brown leather

Worn out holes

Metal buckle.

 

The last time

He used it on me

I was in high school.

 

Blamed for something

My sister did,

Just what it was is no longer

Remembered or important.

 

He slashed and slashed

I cried and cried…

She laughed.

Reading this brings back memories of my past and as the oldest I use to get it on my brothers and sister's behalf when they were disobedient. I was always held responsible for their actions. Ugh! But I've grown to learn from those disciplinable teachings really has made me a better person, its funny though I can't say the same for them. Thanks for sharing! :)

This piece is sad for its content and effective because it is short and only gives the essential details. I like that, well done!

Susan, A nicely written piece about a time in our history when this was the norm rather than abuse. Although it's sometimes hard to believe, we are making progress.

Thanks for this little reminder. Dick

Be always safe,

Been there. Took that. Raised in a family where the mother was a monster, father was milquetoast, no wonder it took the kid sixty years to halfway figure things out.
