Happiness is not at the bottom of his pint

Updated: Dec 1, 2022

I'm sorry I have not been present

But I could not stand by and watch

and let you do that to my brother


If only you had listened, and not taken his overeating for his only pleasure in life

If only you could see that was but a coping mechanism


If only you hadn't sat and watched my nephews make fun of him

poking his belly

Calling him fat


But the truth is they were copyng their mother

The apple of your eye

All the time you watched and said nothing,

but no not I

I am done being good, letting it happen


If only you had not sided with the doctors who were trying to kill him

If only I was not late that day and not got caught in traffic


Maybe he would have had a different life

instead of you signing away his rights over breaking your window


if only there hadn't been that rule and divide

Daddy was right, that's the English way

You too were right, he is more intelligent than dad

so why would did you not listen to his cries?


the truth is he could see how you chose my sisters dog

over our own kind!


I think you know his happiness is not at the bottom of that pint or that curry dish

Can't you see all he has done all his life is to do anything to keep the peace


Why or why did you not listen to him?
