I have a question that waits in a que,
What are the sub categories of beyond blue?
I am seven years old, thus a man,
I walked a mile then stated that I ran,
Mum and dad argue every night,
They are the screaming shadows just out of sight,
I hold my brother, no pain for him,
I stand and accept my fathers sin,
Police approach a mother that cries,
I stand, my mum always tries,
Judges and lawyers speak, I can't understand,
I watch them throw labels that become a brand,
Now, to see father, a policeman has to come,
I question their fear; I am my fathers son,
My brother and I enter the car, we don't fight,
There are chased by a flickering light,
My fathers love; he doesn't have to prove,
I don't want to take sides, thus I don't move,
Dad stares at nothing but a tree,
Sons, do you want to be truly free?
I have a question that waits in a que,
Dad drives fast towards a tree, sons, he states, I love you.

A sad reality for the world. This is probably one of the best I've heard about these kinds of situations.
