THE CHAIN
Thomas Swatek
You brought me into the world
I'm grateful for that
You were not very good parents
I accuse you of that
You passed on your parents' problems to me
I forgive you for that
You treated my children as you did me
I reject you for that
You have made our family nonexistent
I disown you for that
You stick to your religion yet you are lost
I curse you for that
You did the best you could with what you had
I love you for that
You leave me with the responsibility to break the
chain
I will do just that16
