Mother

Mother!
Forgive them
They know not what they do
They're lead
Like blind mice
Into a pathos
Pandora's box

Mother!
Give me strength
To look beyond their faults
And give them the love
They need
To make it through

Mother!
I know they beat us
Delusioned by
Superiority
They restrain
Exploit
Subdue our cries
But beneath that
Tough exterior
Is a tiny boy
Crying to be loved

Mother!
They fight
Like insolent brats
And it pains my heart
To see
How much they'll do
To destroy
Their insecurity of
Inferiority

Mother!
Oh watch out
They understand
Only what they choose
Never realising
In the tentacles of revenge
They tighten their own necks
With the noose

Mother!
We're all your children
Help me to love brother
And through loving myself
Help him to know
The joy of loving one another
