Genie In A Bottle

There is no Genie in that bottle,
so put it down, unless of course
your desire is found deep down in
in the ground.

But suppose there was a Genie,
what would you wish for? Happiness?
Luxuries? Or would you settle for
pouring
a teeny bit more?

Does the Genie see your torment,
anger
and bitterness inside, or does he
tell you
to keep gulping away at your
selfish pride?

In that bottle are you reminded
of your four
little girls? (You know the ones
you gave birth
to and later decided to throw
away).

You have replaced your children
with a broken
glass bottle. The glass has left
scars that will
never fade.

All of the effort you put into
recycling those
bottles, NEVER a thought about
the pain you
have caused us. It will never be
salvageable.

So you see, looking for this
Genie over the years
has clearly been a "waisted
agenda". But in that
bottle, I PROMISE, you will only
find our miserable
MOTHER named Linda.
