Counting sheep. And skeletons.

by

Why is it every

Otherwise happy family

Has skeletons in the closet

And black sheep in the flock?
Because everyone refrains
From telling our children
The family's conscious sins,

And so with ignorance

We curse them

To become next generation's
Non-white sheepish
Skeletons locked banished,
Hanging, lynched,

In ashamed

Darkness?

NEXT?
