    Their Sting Fills Me with Poison
    I hate when my family looks down upon me
     - laughing and mocking and humiliating.
    Poking my fears they aggravate scars;
    reproach what I care for and hurtfully mar.

    If it's my fault, me that provokes -
    I will never admit it for they become worse.
    My tone may be harsh, my words very mean,
    but only because they incessantly sting.

    I may not hold back, and give it my all
    to condemn what they claim and pull myself tall.
    I will fill them with guilt and make them regret
    they ever so dared to mess with my stead!

    I hate when my family looks down upon me
    for that's when I lose my humility.
    Snide indignation abounds in my head
    as I crudely declare my callous revenge.

    If contempt from family breeds revenge, humility is an old rumor. When the passions collide, find a common place to stand, before the family is the next casualty. This piece moves quicklly through heightened emotion and resolve of attitude running amuck: Great poem! Applause Building!

    most of my poetry is brief, as it is my release for my emotions.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
