The Slap

The Slap

Sitting on a park bench…

I saw a woman slap her child tonight.

The offense was hitting another child.

I watched the little girl take it.

What else was she supposed to do?

Before I could react…

They were gone.

Peace seems impossible.

You can’t teach a child not to hit by hitting.
