                     Appearing Only On Celluloid

​
a hard time they had 
when the father berated 
drunkenly his wife 
son killed him
son killed himself 
then the mother 
married again 
husband tried killing her 
so the story goes 
and the story of family lives
will never cease here in this land 
appearing  only on celluloid.
