Local Area Business Man

A local area business man,
Last name Ford, 1st name Dan,
Very successful and well liked,
But hated by his step son Mike.

Dan married his mother Claire, 
After they shared a torrid affair,
Leaving Mike's dad in the cold,
Who killed himself at 30 years old.

Mike has 2 siblings from this union,
Dan loves his 2 and hates his step son,
He treats his own children very well,
While Mike endured a life of hell.

The beatings when he did wrong,
The torture he suffered all day long,
The punches given for nothing at all,
The worst, Claire ignoring his call.

At age 10 he addresses her by name,
With his step dad he did the same,
To them it didn't seem to matter,
His bruises stayed black and lip fatter.

Concealing them with blatant lies,
At school, to friends, people going by,
They saw but never dug deeper,
Because Dan was a community keeper.

He abused Claire just as bad,
His 2 were worried and always sad,
Very much did they love their mother,
Loved Mike as their real brother. 

Love for their father but recently not, 
They knew he had to be stopped,
So they took the task upon themselves,
To send their father straight to hell.

First, get him to the basement door,
The youngest one had this chore,
While the middle child gives a shove,
To kill a man they hate, yet love.

The day came and went real smooth,
The lure, a push, to the ground he flew,
To the bottom of the basement stairs,
The kids went to daddy down there.

The youngest with tears in her eyes,
Kissed her father and said goodbye,
The middle boy held his sister tight,
Not knowing their future after tonight.
