A physically abusive man getting drunk in a bar rationalizes and justifies his behavior. I'm not advocating domestic violence. You all know I like to write from the other side of the coin.
She always starts this s**t with me then says the fault is mine If she'd shut her Goddamn mouth everything would be just fine
I work my fingers to the bone though she's never grateful To hear that evil b***h nagging I'm the one who's hateful
She's got the kids against me now They just want to use me Dad's a great big piggy bank All they want is money
When they're to big for they're boots and show me disrespect When they back talk out of line They know what to expect
These kids today they get away with anything they want Sick little s***s and criminals and parents are at fault
You need to discipline your kids with methods unrefined You have to beat sense into them to keep your brood in line
Bar keep give me one more shot I have to drink alone Someone needs a lesson taught As soon as I get home
So don't stick your labels on me I'm not the one to blame What else am I supposed to do All they respect is pain
This isn't a social commentary on how to discipline kids. This is a guy sitting alone in a bar getting hammered justifying his behavior through. Anger, projection, denial, rationalization and justification and that's all this poem is.

There`s no handbook for bringing up kids, so there`s a lot of inadequate people out there, mate. As one of the victims of that inadequacy, I appreciate your piece, man. P.
Dang! Very intense and emotional. It is the classic type of a mental and physical abuser. I think you portrayed it greatly. It made me want to beat up the guy! I think you are a good writer. :)
I love how you always show another point of view and not to assist the abuser, but he does have a good point to why he is doing as he does. Awesome write
I understand what you're showing the reader. I think we all would like to see him with a large dose of alcohol poisoning and permanently restricted from doing more harm. Well written - I think it definitely will strike a nerve with those that have been the victim of such abuse.
I write just for the hell of it
A way to spend some time

Maybe funny maybe tragic
Emotional and raw
