mother, mommy, mom, mama
so many different names
each unique special dreadful loving
her kids look up to her
but they face her terrible wrath
all the time they endure
hamster babies are eaten by their mother
humans are scolded yelled at beaten
why do they do this? why do mothers do this?
they say it is out of love; I say it is out of spite.

The author's comments:
I did not eat dinner one day, and my mom was mad at me for "disrespecting her" by forgetting to eat one meal! She wouldn't talk to me after that--it's been a week already. I wrote this out of my frustration.
