There’s No Place like Home

Once upon a time, there stood a house of ill fame
A drug property associated with violence and crime
There lived a family in despair, sorrow, and tragedy

Father was a drinker and a goddamn fiend
A sadistic motherfucker who could not keep his hands off his own kin
His soul was meant for the devil, it was rotten from within...
After all these years of sin

Mother was a skeleton whore
Fucked up on heroin, wine, and pills
Whatever she could score
More more more!
Her black circled eyes were simply empty
Her body was bruised and scarred
Oh, life was hard!

And if her sick alcoholic husband had a temper
He would beat up his wife
One time he took a knife and stabbed her twice
No! Not deep enough- for she survived!
Once their marriage
An enchantment of love and trust

Hopes and dreams became nightmares of shame
Abuse, and disgust
Assault, assault!
Domestic violence!
Family battery!
Rape, violence, violence, violence, violence!
Assault, assault!
Abuse, abuse, domestic violence!
Assault, assault!

Once upon a time
They were blessed with two children
A boy and a girl
Now by the age of twelve and nine
Traumatized and neglected
In a household of blood, tears, and wine!

This night, father became completely insane
The children awoke by a horrible tumult
From downstairs, sounds of screaming, breaking glass, and the throwing of chairs
But the children fell asleep again
And the girl had a disturbing dream:

A stifling feeling of a hand covering her mouth
A smell of alcohol all around
She doesn't understand and cannot defend herself
When will this suffocating dream end?
Finally! She is able to breathe

But when her bastard father shut the door behind him
She realized:
This nightmare was no dream! No dream! NO DREAM!
