We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Papa's Rage
Papa’s Rage
The children upstairs hear the uproar. The yelling reverberates the din back towards their room. His wife is pleading with him. Like mice, small tots scurry under the bed Everyone hides in the shadow of their shame.
