The child forgot but still here

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
The child forgot but here. He she is here ready to play draw and lie when something is broke. We were children and we starve that child. Still here under rules and lies so they will behave. Such words I hate you I hate you. Then 15 min. Why are you mad!! We wonder why so many sick when their child starved.
