Monsters Are Real : Listen

MONSTERS ARE REAL

On Monday, Billy didn’t have his homework

And when the teacher asked him why

He said, “Because a monster ripped it up,

After I told him a lie.”

“You know monsters don’t exist,

And if you don’t turn in your homework

No recess you will get

On Tuesday, Billy had a stomachache

And when the teacher asked him why

He said, “A monster took away my dinner,

even my cherry pie.”

“Billy, I’ve told you once before,

Monsters are not real.

You’ll have to wait till lunchtime

Before you get a meal.”

On Wednesday, Billy had a bandage,

Which covered his right eye.

When the teacher asked him how it happened,

This was his reply:

“A monster was running after me

When I ran into the door:”

“Billy please,” the teacher said,

“I don’t want to hear any more.”

On Thursday, Billy refused to sit down,

And when the teacher asked him why,

Billy said, “A monster whipped my bottom,

Because I started to cry,”

“Billy, said the teacher,

” this is getting out of hand,

And if you continue with these stories,

In the corner you will stand.”

On Friday, Billy didn’t come to school,

And when the teacher found out why,

She said a little prayer to God

In hopes Billy would survive.

For a monster had beaten Billy

and threatened him with a knife.

Now Billy lay in a hospital bed,

Fighting for his life.

So teachers please remember,

That monsters are for real.

Listen closely to kids stories,

A wounded heart you may heal

Parental alienation: parents share messages they’ve sent to their alienated children – Kidspot

I’m told repeatedly that my text and phone calls

go to a dead file..It’s very important from me

to be told each time we do talk .. of course

“former” blocks or ignores efforts to reach

him of financial errors . He then randomly

calls after a time, with no reference to the

matter I messaged , offering he’s not sure why

he’s not getting my calls or text .. on money

shortages , he again ignores , always going

to the need for a building repair ( faulty design

by his choice ) as well as my entrapment in regard

to signing papers in a state of induced mental

illness. Brazenly suggesting a 30/50 k expenditure

to which I am responsible for 1/2 …

Holding children hostage to hide abuses ongoing

sanctioned by a culture adapted to social

suicide .

Being prevented from seeing or communicating with your child is a special kind of hell – but a parent’s love never dies.
