Life You Owe Us

Life you owe us joy
Owe us love you sowed-
In your deep mortal ploy,
As if to hate we are endowed.

You toung kissed our souls
With insipid affection of fear
Breath of death in our nose
Whispering pain for us to hear.

You owe us what you gave others
Propensity to headway a fanthom
And be proud future fathers whose-
Success be our kids anthem.

Sure life you owe us more-
Than sunshine to a bushy green,
But mother to the son she bore
Indivisible like allele gene.

Life, fill that chasm with flaxen
Fairness that picks none to be chosen
Pay that debt you owe.
