A family, once whole, is now divided
After one heartless sister quickly decided
That the other two-thirds weren't doing their share
Their father, all alone, is left in painful despair
Rewind, move back, to two years ago
A happy scene, a party, everyone's face is aglow
Before the warm fire, talks of work and of play
Swirl around and around on that joyous Christmas day
Flash forward, to today, everything has changed
The father, now dying; that sister, deranged
She's cut off her sisters from her unhappy world
Ignoring the harsh injustices that have been unfurled
Her daughters denied the sight of their aunts,
They speak up, only to receive their mother's taunts
I can see what is happening, this huge tragedy
We are left with nothing, nothing but a broken family.
