To parents I am the replacement The new hope To medicine I am multi donation An organ harvest For a sick nation To agriculture I am renewal , without obligation Mutton always dressed as lamb To politicians I am a universal pawn To be bartered or thrown away To war I am the never ending battle Action replays , tactics displayed But without end To peace I am countless new white cross's The reason you never count losses To you I am answers, questions, fear and elation That contradicts all of creation To me I am a lost soul I am freedom without control Petri dish exploration How can you call me son, if I am no relation

Dear Gerard, There are so many unique and meaningful lines here. I am renewal , without obligation Mutton always dressed as lamb, for example. Too many outstand one after the next to quote in this gut reaching piece. Such futility in this beautifully written poem. Kathy
