Remembering the car
Up and down the street
Frantic, searching
Couldn't see me in the tree
Across the hay field
Witnessing the end
A search as it ceases
When new life did begin
That was it, never again
never again
Through the front door
The screaming rage
Matriarchal wrath
Did arrive this day
The sledgehammer
Reasonless, incensed
A shattered door
All the violence
That was it, never again
never again
Some pick up that mantle
And take the same stance
The sledge and the door
Is their only chance
But I will not admit
Will not let them in
Will not go down that path
It will not begin
Never again, never again
never again

What a poetic adventure here Eugene S, wonderfully written, with eye popping imagery, that will be very memorable indeed.
I do hope that this tale reached a safe conclusion, if it is biographical.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well!
Thank you! All is well, just putting old experiences to rest.
You're welcome, and I'm glad that certain unsavoury doors in your life, are now finally being closed!
