Don’t blame the parents
Is it your view
That world war two
Is on the tyrant’s dad
Who daily flew
With beatings blue
Upon his sickly lad?
And could it be
Your soul is free
And innocent of blame
For any crimes
In present times
For which you feel no shame?
Your mum and dad
Both drove you mad
And hence in consequence
You as a child
Alas ran wild
Bereft of innocence
Now blame each takes
For your mistakes
Inducing me to beg
One question more
What comes before?
The chicken or the egg?
For you today
Still make them pay
And here’s a bitter pill
The past abuse
Seems poor excuse
For grown-ups of free will
