I still maintain
That some of you had it lucky.
Brusies and beatings and bravery
The good will in all of you
Never gave you true confusion
Eternally some one to blame
Once you came to grips, anyway
For those who chose
Between a wrench a stick and a belt
You got off light
The scars sight unseen
Heal slowest, if at all
While I am unable to flail in the dark
For want of direction.
