Your ex-wife
takes your money
and your life,
feels nothing,
gets a face lift
and buys a new life;
your kids
take their leave,
imagine mommy
a wronged saint,
forget everything
you ever did
for them
and disappear;
friends you have known
for fifteen years
take cover
and vanish
for good
without a word;
the cops
take you to jail
and find your situation
amusing;
the judge
takes your freedom
and dignity,
frowns intently,
and gives you
a criminal record;
your lawyer
takes what's left;
you take
a beating
and walk out
to face the world
alone:
simplicity itself.

It's a shame that some men have to go through this.....should be settled by two adults acting like grownups & the children should not be made to choose. Some women also get shafted...no pun intended, for trying to do what's right. Life isn't fair, but it sure beats dying.....Cathy from Murfreesboro
