Behind Closed Doors
Behind closed doors, perhaps the most dangerous place to be.
The going ons unbeknownst to many or most
Rest assured, you can bank on just one thing
There will be insecurity
Behind closed doors, the bribes get wagered
They are dealt out amongst selected kin
Dare not knock or make a sound
No, not while you’re complicit or endangered
Behind closed doors, people are beaten in deed or word
The shaping, moulding, pressing, scolding is not what it’s portrayed to be
Facades and lies to dodge and twist
A truer certainty you may never have heard
Behind closed doors, lives are taken by themselves
Convinced that the pain will end with me
Enduring and transferred it lives in fear
Through papers they say farewells
Behind closed doors, the evil will fester without doubt
Whispers are both spread and subdued no matter the door
Fragility and misappropriation, the two go hand in hand
Behind closed doors, knock and hear them shout
Behind closed doors, perhaps the most dangerous place to be.
The going ons unbeknownst to many or most
Rest assured, you can bank on just one thing
If you say nothing, you’ll never be free
