a heartbeat, palpations of the chest
monitor nitritional standards..
be they second best
a mother leads you on stage today
forwards family wealth...
asks to leave life tomorrow
young man where did learn to nuture hate
your animosity...your sorrow?

did you follow some great plan in the sky
a voice that said cut school out,
live on the fly?
did you know that as you robbed a woman
from your mother's adult clan
that would throw you against the fibre
of a predetermined natural plan?

course you followed hypocracies
straight through forbidden doors
looked on splattered mirrors.. faced fallacies
got crushed by rejection to the floor

a heartbeat away..t'was in younger years
had to catch up...use those love making tools
didn't know?... trespass in another man's den
you'll rest a constant fool..

a child harmed by love's twists and turns?
recognize what's right for you and learn...
granted an adult you'll be with grown desires
would you risk formation for romantic fires?
you have time to pass through maturing stages
as many children did...so said the sages

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
