Father Is the Son

The spiritual birth of word

 I recently lost my mind spirit and individual life.
But was always soulfull just without knowledge of the 
one self
To understand knowledge shown thru understanding.

But through it all I came back
In the essence and words that
Filled me that up to now
I had many Epiphany but none as profound.

I was shown by my mother
A two verse poem written by my father.
The time of transition from righteous
To complaicent mediocrity

The time of the inspiration
Is key to its power of comited energy
And in two versus my father sacraficed understanding 
for knowledge
To provide food for his son and daughter.
