Words and the world passing by; how it sings to me; how I clamour back.
Don’t be late
Tie your shoes
Shut the gate
Please don’t lose
Keys again
It’s the end
Help your mum
Help your friend
Shut your mouth
Now speak up
Louder please
Fill your cup
Homework done?
Pens in pot
Eat that dinner
While it’s hot
Cool your temper
Cool your beans
Who knows what
That even means
So much conflict
Such demand
Emotions fraying
Out of hand
Is it any wonder
You get angry
Is it any wonder
You fight back
Good for you.
And long may
It continue.
