Ok, Victor, I will not tell you.
It's too late for many, but there are many more children out there who need the protection of a caring parent and a watchful eye. It is for thos that I hope this write does the most good.
Thank you Victor, I am honored.

Comment from honeytree
This type of happening is just so cruel and these that treat children or anyone like this, should be in jail for life and also given some extra punishment I feel.
Great writing.

Comment from Amfunny
I know the picture is you, but I sure hope the story isn't. Very well done and brutally truthful. I can imagine the response of some who read. Very well done, my friend. Excellent writing. Brutally frank.

Comment from sierra scribbler
Wow, this is very good, and horribly sad. I work in a hospital, and I see the things that are done to children.
Your words a perfectly written as to how these thing occur and continue to occur.
As much as I hate the subject matter, this is great.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your kind comments and understanding. As much I hate the subject, I feel compelled to try to help myself, and others through my writing.
Let me help one person with my words, and then perhaps I can begin to understand why these things happen to the innocent.
Blessings to you,
Curt
Comment from Hitcher
I thought my demons were savage F*ckers... Mate! I cannot begin to comprehend the terror that wreaked havoc on that tiny little petrified mind. Did you ever see the movie 'The Gift' there is a scene in that where a son finally remembers the abuse that was inflicted on him by his father, he ties HIM up, douses him with gasoline and torches the sick F*ck, it is scorched in my mind forever.
Amazing write Curt, F/n amazing my friend!

Thanks Hitch, I consider you my best friend on this site, liked you since the first, and will always consider you a brother in spirit.
Your comments are worth a dozen sixes to me.

Comment from chelabella
Apparently I just used my last six for this week. Please write me a couple days and I will change this to a six. Poems like this are important as therapy but more important possibly as warning to mothers. I don't know how many women listen, but I did. Thank you for this.

Thank you my friend, your thoughts are the six I look for most, and I sincerely appreciate what you said, because that is one of the main reasons I write what I do, to help others realize what can happen in their own homes. The other reason is purely selfish, to purge my soul of this dirt and see the light again.
Your words touch me deeply and I sincerely thank you once again for listening to my words of warning. If you have children or grandchildren, protect them with all your might, and I will have not suffered in vain.
Blessings to you,
Curt

I love that I judge these poems blind, and then keep finding you. I have two grown daughters who have always been safe because of my paranoia. I also have a brother who is not allowed to see anyone in my family because of what I know of him. I wish I could protect all children. I wish someone had protected you.
-
My sister, (in the pic) always tried, but she was away at school. She is still my protector even now, forty plus years later. Without her love, I would surely be dead by my own hand.
I am fond of you finding me too, your thoughts and caring are felt across the miles.
Blessings to you,
Curt
Comment from cheyennewy
Hi Curt,
I am so sorry. What a horrible thing to carry inside for all these years. I don't know if "Uncle Phil" is dead or alive but no matter where he is I hope he has suffered over the pain he inflicted. The more I read of this poem the more distressed I became. Your poetry evokes strong emotions in whatever you write and now I understand that some of it comes from profound pain. Outside of the theme the poem is extremely well written. I shall give you my last six. Blessings....chainy

Comment from NadineM
Curt,
My heart was breaking as I read this poem. I'm so sorry...so sorry.
I know we writers care about the quality of our writing and so I will offer my review, but please know I'd rather speak to the little child who suffered such horrific torture and tell him it wasn't his fault. That he is not a product of where he was or what he did or what was done to him. To hold that devastated child til all his tears were cried would be my choice...
You wrote a convicting story in the form of rhyming poem. Well-rhymed and flowing, this poem offered the reader vivid imagery, haunting and terrific. Such sadness filled my heart as I read this...made me cry.
I do hope that you're okay today...I realize that is such a loaded comment/question. Praying that you have peace in your life today and that you consider yourself a survivor...
Again, I am so sorry...
Thanks for sharing this with me. God bless you.

This is very pathetic indeed. The kind of practices that people derive pleasure from are often very baffling. This is instructive to all parents. welldone

Comment from warbler
This is a very emotional and descriptive poem. The images created by your words feel very real and tragic. I was impressed with,"My mother said I always lied and said so til the day she died." Great poem!
