He's Moody

Karyn Indursky

"He's just moody"
the mother warns
her children before
he grabs her
no longer innocent
child for punishment
over a ruined
couch she split
paint accidentally on,
but his abuse
is never mistaken
by silent victims
for if they
were to speak
he'd surely kill
them all without
shedding a tear
and after them
he'll find new
victims to his
cycle of violence.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem while watching a movie on Lifetime called, "In the Best Interest of the Child."
