Paternal Bonding

They say the Father wound

runs deep in society

as it keep you from each other

same as father daughter

materialism creates a chasm

beyond the father wound

 

I think

 

Mother wound is now equal

in the pursuit of equality

career is paramount

the maternal drive is subdued

oh, there'll be time later

but what about the generation gap

late children suffer

you're like grandparents

if you please 

 

can you see?
