Poem

 Neglect

Talk to mr. i say. He your daddy 

everybody saw how good i is to mr. children

Young women ain't no good these days he says 

You ever hit her? Mr ast

Mr call me, she look surprised. And like she pity me

I stay up late as i can before mr start complaining

Mr be in the room with her all the time night or day 

He still like her 

Harpo ast his daddy why he beat me mr say cause she my wife 

You better git on back to the field dont wait for me mr said
