Ignoring
Everything ever learned
...by someone you don’t like
If you don’t believe ...this is a mistake
Multiply that times the sum of ...100 million lifetimes
Now that you have lost your modern mind ...subtract the times
You or anyone you ever liked ...made what turned out
To create an error ...not so easily erased
Spilled the milk ...carried the guilt
Of everyone going hungry
Until it could be replaced
Divided by each other
Equals you
...without mistake
...minus one
Is
Zero...
Whether you
Might someday become
A father or a mother ...
Although you try your best
To pass a test ...you fail repeatedly
You never stop trying ...to be a parent
They someday might wish ...they would be
With hope, prayer ...and forgiveness
A heartfelt desire to be blessed
With love and happiness
And to be true
To the one
They
Choose
To spend their
Entire Life...
To be close to...
Together
If they
Are
Honest and kind
Would you mind very much
Giving them some latitude
Showing ...a little
Gratitude
If so, then...
You have arrived
Back to where we began
To understand the course of choices
You are not alone ...in this life
We all have inner voices
And a will to finely distinguish
Right from wrong...weak from strong
Positions from all points of view
Between me and you
Now that you can start anew
Between ...me and you
We’ve been there
Naturally…
