Shame on You (Poetry)

“Shame on You”

Shame on you
For instilling so much fear
Your child flinches
Every time you’re near

Shame on you
For not kissing
Your little one goodnight
Sending him to bed
With hunger and fright

Shame on you
For the bruises, cuts, and
burns
It’s only your love
That your little angel yearns

Shame on you
For neglecting your baby
And making them think
They are worthless and lazy

Shame on you
For ending your child’s life so
soon
I don’t know why anyone believed
you
And thought you’d change your
tune


Shame on you
For your anger, rage, and
spite
You deserve to be locked up
With no end in sight
