To The War Child

You'd be the child in the middle

of an adult and their spouse

You wouldn't even know 

the Silent War was in you're house

 

The thing is with a silent war,

is not that it is quiet

It's just that it is not acknowledged 

by those that live beside it

 

No, you wouldn't realise

that Parents were fighting

I mean, how would you know?

You wouldn't even sight the thing!

 

Now, now, child, no need to fret

For compromise is coming yet

In fact, before dinner

(Since War's now to a simmer)

Bygones will be bygones, before the table's set.

I hope you enjoy this, know that this does not apply to those with family troubles (like me).

I really hope this doesn't offend anyone.
