Addams Family Values (1993) Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
Letter to Abraham
Dear Abraham,
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
I would have screamed
I would have rebelled
I would have chased God away throwing stones at his back
I would never have even thought of hurting my child
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
Do you know how many parents have followed your lead?
Setting their gay children,
Their trans children,
Their beautiful innocent children
Down on an altar because you, monster, did it first?
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
Why couldn’t you see what an evil it was?
Don’t you know what a parent is for? To love, to protect?
I’d have stood between God and my child like a lioness protecting my lamb from slaughter,
I’d have roared at him for daring even to ask,
I would never have relied on the mercy of an evil thing that demanded child-blood spilt in its honor
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
