Under His Control

Karyn Indursky

Blinded by love
she misses signs
flashing before her
eyes as she
makes excuses for
her beloved children
shrieking and crying
from her husband's
firm hands claiming
"earned punishment" daily
by "sassy" mouths
begging for him
to stop hurting
them and mommy,
but listens he
does not for
he's "the man"
and everyone is
under his control.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem while watching "In the Best Interest of the Child" on Lifetime.
