Picture Perfect

Their picture looks perfect but the frame shows deceit.

The Daughter has secrets

Her Brother tells lies

Their Father is evil

Their Mother's not kind

Though all is for a reason

Though the reason's unknown

For in all their closets are bodies and bones

So to the Mother show kindness

Though she'll spare you none

For though she's unkind her children she loves

To the Father be weary

He strives to hurt all

I fear to his closet his family will fall

To the Brother, be honest for there's a reason he lies

Like his Sister with secrets there are things he must hide

To the Daughter, be careful

She's been hurt far too much

I'm afraid with much more six feet under she'll rot

Now for all the family don't believe what you see

Their picture looks perfect but the frame shows deceit
