Family Valentine

The humiliation of poverty
is what the rich fear most
and what the poor are
struggling to survive
no more could Louis XVI
hear his own thoughts
in that roar approaching
the guillotine than could
my father when my mother
kicked him out because
revolution is family life writ large
but what happens when the sons
are worse than the fathers
and the daughters worse
than the sons of bitches
