You Have Not Come To a Realization
I see your eyes look down
look away
look astray
and disapproving
sometimes hateful
I see the scorn and beatings your father gave you immediately in your eyes
and the humiliations others have given you in your eyes
you have not come to a realization of what is
you have not come to realize yourself
and I forgive you, friend, I forgive you
that's why I write this poem, friend,
so that one day
you may realize yourself.
