Angry Words

Let us now wonder about A harsh word,
chicken wire mentalities Of quick, biting anger.
The tearing of another's soul,
Hooks, TX Rending a heart in two.
Boasts J ames Williston, Forgetting the love,
Big bellied and 57. The care, the need.
J ames has two Not even thinking
Of the most devoted wives,
Just 20 and 22, anymore,
Both five months pregnant Just doing.
And already 5 children Like an eagle
Between them. Swooping down
Seems the county On an unsuspecting creature,
Took away the two youngest So my angry words
On account of James Swoop down for the kill
Kept them On an unknowing soul.
In a chicken wire cage,
So they wouldn't stray Barbara Parsons
In the street.
He vows
He'll get them back
Before those other two
Pop out.
And Kathy and Linda
Giggle
And pose American Gothic
For a news wire photo
