Close your eyes.....

short poem on how simple it probably is in some homes to make a parent ''ignorent'' to what a person is doing...

CLOSE YOUR EYES.......

CLOSE YOUR EARS, AVERT YOUR EYES.

BOW DOWN YOUR HEAD. IGNORE ANYTHING SAID.

NOTHING TO SEE; NOTHING TO HEAR.

NOTHING GOING ON WITH THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR.

ANYTHING YOU'RE TOLD, YOU KNOW IT'S A LIE -

I'D NEVER DO THAT, COME ON! WOULD I?

SHE'S JEALOUS AND SPOILT, WANTS US TO SPLIT.

IF YOU ARE HONEST..YOU KNOW SHE'S A S**T..

I WILL GO CHAT TO HER, GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY;

TELL HER TO SHUT UP, STOP TELLING THAT LIE!

SO CLOSE YOUR EARS, AVERT YOUR EYES -

AND REMEMBER YOU NEED ME.

BUT SHE TELLS NOTHING BUT LIES...

Strong and honest words. Sometime hard to know the truth.

People will test us and sometime silence is golden. Hope for a good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I agree. Permanent separation can be worst and you are welcome.

i read a story earlier where i felt the parents had ignored the abuse their daughter was going through with an partner as it made life easier..got me to thinkng..how many people do that and how many different ways it can get done, how many mother's have stood in court and sworn they never knew a partner was abusing their kid..as a mum i find it hard to believ..must be pretty distant to not get suspicious..but who knows..i may be wrong of course..

A hard topic. Abuse need to be ID and turn-in. A terrible thing to do to a kid.

Whoa!! new poem... i really loved the concept of your poem... it reminds of something i have witnessed of my frnd's life... the ending was great... choice of words excellent, again it is something relatable to many people... by the way i feel in the 6th and the 9th line you meant to write 'know' but wrote 'no'.... as always full ratings....
