It's Good Friday 2023
Sometimes I done get burned out and heartbroken
When a certain toxic rancid control freak knitpicks and verbally abuses me.
I'm a senior citizen of 69 pushing 70
Looking back on a thirteen year broadcast carreer
Controlled by "big fish in a little radio pond"
Justifying their financial and social status, good looks and narcicissm
To take advantage and exploit me.
This is nothing new
Throughout this lowly life that I lived
Throughout my school years in the 19060s and 70s
When I was mentally abused by a certain grade school principal's rhetoric
Bullied continually on the school bus because I am Catholic
And was seduced and molested by a Dayton psychologist
Hoping he would turn me into his teenaged homosexual lover
Which I refused to give consent to.
I was scared out of my wits
I kept it quiet for decades due to being bullied in high school..wishing I would call it quits
Falsely accused by my peers as the "queer" that I'm not
I'm just the son of struggling small farmer
Who also was made fun of and shunned by those
Who had a title, social status, and yes...money.
I met my wife in 1979
She too was bullied in high school by that same continual crime.
But some women take advantage of their husbands to this very day
I sometimes rant under my breath
...but by the same token , I forgive and still love her anyway.
As I carry my load of mental abuse on this Good Friday.
"Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."
