(My answer to YOU voting in a perpetrator of sex crimes in as our next President of the United States)
(c)11/9/2016, Peggy Ann Rowe. All Rights Reserved.
You closed your eyes
You shuttered your ears
You did not see it
So it did not count
But if it were your kid
who got groped below the belt
My guess is that his face
Might have seen the other end
of your baseball bat.
You bought into the myth
You resigned yourself
You grew up to become
The people you used to talk about.
You sold out
You gave it all up
Now the lady we love
Can be tossed all about.
How will it feel
When you realize
That the bear did shit in the woods,
The tree in the forest did make a noise?
Hypocrisy is not pretty.
Silence is Golden
Complacency sucks
the life out of many
But you’ve gone and done it
You’ll need to own it
Someday you’ll have the chance
To dress YOUR daughter in it!
I’ve worn those big girl panties all my life
I’m the beginning of the backlash,
I’m the voice of the damned-
I’m reminding you of the child
You failed to protect.
You gave in.
You sold us out.
You pretended that it’s not what its all about.
You are pretty smart.
You could have figured this out.
But you closed your eyes.
You shuttered your ears.
You gave in
You sold us out.
About PeggyAnn

In between her 'gigs' with clients she volunteered at many different non-profits.

This website is an attempt to share the knowledge she has gained about her family ties with others who may be interested in the same things. She does not guarantee 100% accuracy and does hope that you will send corrections. To learn more about her, click the "about" button in the page menu. Thanks!
Another goal of this website is to disseminate a message (i.e. education) about domestic violence, child abuse, and all forms of sexual abuse to society at large. The message comes from real experience from the whole spectrum of the violence from sexual abuse by a perpetrator to sexual abuse perpetrated by a husband, to the abuse of children within the family. Peggy has seen it, lived it, and been hurt by it. There will on occasion be details that might be hard for some people to read, and a warning is usually posted at the beginning of the essay so that those who want to turn and not read may do so. The only way to teach and to let others learn what to avoid is to SHARE what happened with every detail necessary to make the point. Thank you.
