Core [C.O.R.E]

This was written on 12th August 2009 while sitting in a small waiting room on the 4th floor of the Southort Magistrates court. In this room with me were my son, his father, my daughter and 2 other boys and their mothers. As well as a lady from P.A.C.T. (Protect All Children Today) We were all there together on that day as the boys, my daughter and my son were to give their video evidence in a separate room from the actual court room against a man who, in November last year was charged with eleven counts of dealings with a child under 16. Six of those charges are to do with my son. This man was my employer. There is another boy involved, he was not required that day. This man touched my son and made sexually explicit comments to the other boys. Soul severe was born from the raging emotions I had clawing their way up through my body ripping me to shreds along the way as I sat in that room. For my boy, for the other boys and for the little girl in me who never had her own voice. Needless to say a copious amount of Jack Daniel’s did help me to somewhat sedate my inner rampaging fury. And the urge to throw this motherfucker over the glass barriers of the 4th floor to his demise on the tiled floor below. / He continues to be out on bail. I continue to want to smash him in the throat with my bare fist and tear his fucken heart out with my bare hands. That is where “Soul Severe” comes from.

Simply, where there is life there is dialogue, and when we talk there is always the chance we can find some other way.

I was vaguely remembering Kierkegaard, talking of the loss of self and it got me thinking of the many different ways we find that we have given away our power or sense of identity, or maybe lose it along the way. This is just one of those many ways.
