Grave Situation

So drunk the child took two years to walk Who could tell, how well you'd think and talk? Out of lust you were born Parallel thoughts of love, a mothers scorn. Bound integrity held for shame, Mama, the child and with whos name There was more to be had Sometimes good, sometimes bad That's just the way it is, even for kids

That's so true, isn't it? That's just the way it is? This is a partly sad poem, and very well written... Welcome to PoetrySoup.
