Children...
safe and unhampered
born from union
too often ravaged from Divorce
Feelings of being devoured
friction
constant and persistant
split by egos and righteousness
Darkness and closed doors becomes sanctuary
closets and dreams
shelter in railway stations
and narrow alleys
and smothered cries not heard
Blank faces
empty hearts
watching and waiting
a kind word, a warm touch
Choices forced
Bad sex, needles and attachment
and no where to go.......

Lessons for the elders
Hearts that are felt
Focusing on the eyes of the children
Certain splits may be inevitable
but not that of the children
for each child is a part intrinsically of each
man and woman
so for one to hate the other
is to then hate their own..........
and from that
there is rarely any resurrection
only dark shadows and desperation.................
