Abusive learning




An eye for an eye
makes you blind
he said.
Of course
respectable folks,
they obeyed,
head down,
and educated themselves
highly
in words.

But a
word for a word
has made her deaf,
dumb
and she questions
if
having a
respectable
mother and father
yourself
is
a prerequisite
for
perpetuating abuse
that denies someone else
a
well defined father?

An eye for an eye,
Word for a word,
The beholder
and listener
is finally
deaf, dumb and blind......
The perpetrator
smiles
at
his creativity
in mouthing
one more
4 letter word.......
