The evil monster

The frightening monster
strikes again.
Making the children choose
Between two Loves
is Evil.
Big sister leans her head on the wall
Listening
while hugging Little brother
as he clutched Big sister's hands.
Hearing Father slap Mother.
Hearing them yell at each other.
In languages of the Adult World.
The door slams.
Mother's eyes are Red.
The children hopes the evil monster will leave them alone.
