Escaping

 

A mother and her

Three young daughters

Escaping into the night

In pyjamas and jackets,

After the rum has numbed

Him to sleep,

Alcohol and the psychopathic

Mind a dangerous mix

For which is there ever

A fix except to be

Far, far away,

Living in fear

That he may be

Nearer than you think.
