The Word of God on the Lips of Children

"Mother is the word of God on the lips of children" - The Crow

 Conception was a whisper

coldly let loose

without a thought

or

a care

never knowing

never the matter

of consequences

that may come

to those that you left behind yourself

while you paraded

we pretended

that we didnt hate life

or

that you even loved us

or

even cared

for us

a little

maybe

its better

this way

rather than

that way

but do you

even care

even yet

or was my unnatural spawning

my snagging

if you will

of the

coil of mortality

the end

of your good times

never the matter

tis more education

more and more

but

here is the kicker

the little gift

that keeps me going

that fire that pushes me on

is that

even though you tried

oh so very hard

to destroy

what was

a semblance of a youth

you failed

I am here

and

better still

I am stronger

and wiser

than you

could ever have been.
