The Lives of the Descendants

April 2, 2014

9 months of a grueling life

1st is the time of acceptance.

2nd creates the physical change.

3rd promotes the emotions and pain.

Mothers suffer for the cycle of life

Laughter, growth and costs

But time has never been so fulfilling.

The offspring have nothing but innocent love

With admiration for their creaters.

But eventually those laughs become cries of pain

Beaten and broken.

For the admiration becomes hatred.

As the children see their parent's abuse,

Even after epitomizing the word innocence,

They still recieve the neglect and wrath.

With only a few definite outcomes

Depression, hatred, bullying, and even Death.

Until that vicious cycle repeats itself

Growing stronger for the next generation to recieve.

But I must ask,

When will it end?
