An unrelenting fight between parents,

The children innocent observers,

And then a distrust between all the members:

the father, lost in his dreams,

the mother, always at ill ease,

the son, indifferently bored,

the daughter, needed someone’s support;

Still, they defiantly loved each other—

missed each other;

were lost in the world of one another;

They believed a family remains a family—

even when every member goes crazy,

even after the tragic collapse—

the bitter divorce: the parents’ wrath!
