Wealthy Athenians
had sons who stole chariots,
a Grecian joy-ride.
Strange - things don't change much
but words get twisted.
Wonderful mothers
don't exist anymore, no
they're really 'wicked'.
Paedophobia -
worse than paedophilia,
lets thousands of poor sick kids
die every day.
Surrounding children -
parents, perverts, siblings, toys -
friends and enemies.
Pushing big Buggies
parents fatten up their kids
for Diabetes.
Christmas makes children
mere consuming destroyers,
mere false believers.
PROGRESS? Small families
so intimate, make me scream
Claustrophobia!
Mother was ashamed
of skinny me, mocked her brat,
something from Belsen.
Schoolroom rocking horse
kindly meant for infant treats
frightened me from books.
FASHION FUCKS
Baby's braided head -
mothering in the boudoir -
hairy art object.
Get perfect babies,
try the Clones Orphanage -
choose and multiply.
Some celebrities
want an orphan - choose this one,
reject that other.
Little boys differ,
hands ready to fight and play,
combatants so young.
Modern little girls
still push dolls in prams, happy,
such young conformists.
The Jack-in-the-box
startles, shocks, makes me afraid,
but do it again.
