Hide and Seek

A Benny poem.

Hide and Seek

Somewhere in the deep
Dark woods
Benny's father stands
Trying to make his son
Stand firm,
Maintain the Right
And be a man.

Six years' old,
Still heart numb,
He wants his Daddy,
He wants his Mom.

All his kindling is to hand,
And he's been told how to do it,
But he knows that he can't
Ask for help
Because he's stupid,
So so stupid.

Fingers fumbling,
Sausage thick
He tries to make a spark,
But there's still no light
Or heat to warm
Little Benny in the dark.
