What about you?
Is there anything you've been working on
for many centuries?

Well, as a son of Father Sun,
I have been moving toward family and tribal justice
within a global climate of peace
as politically integrative  internal empowerment
with ecologically cooperative co-presence
as co-ownership
of bicamerally polypathic (0)-soul spacetime,

It’s just a terrible situation 
        being so harsh and critical-
A revealed capricious sensation 
    from those who are hypocritical.
Derogatory and unrespected 
with a loving environment expected,

a skinny, dreamy-eyed boy in a suburban Jesuit school 
showed up in your English class...to learn a bit of class.

you taught me Milton, introduced me to Stevenson,

If I had a sad broken heart
Not because you died dear
But that you chose another bride
Who's so limited I fear

She posseses only twenty
Percent and I eighty
Chosen in my youth gifted blessed
God prepared me for thee

Now that I'm aged unable to work
Not able to serve you
You...

He walked upon her in the woods
Lying there, with placenta and blood on her skin
He didn't question where she was going
But knew where she had been

~unwanted, unloved, unnoticed~

He cleaned her carefully
Removed the dead weight and stains of sorrow and grief
He dressed her in royal gowns
Daily...

The welfare advocates 
pick on human frailty,
comparing 
sending children to orphanages
 to sheltering kittens.

They wonder about our
inherent bad-ness,
go fault finding and

flesh-eating disease that attacks 
their selfsame skin, and 
cannot feel it burning away to hate.

Your affection spreads infection:
Love kills.

Internalized emotions wrought
quotidian psychological oppression
retrospective reflection courtesy
20/20 hindsight reveals absolute zero
positive development of body, mind, and spirit
extreme agitation compromised

maturation, education, and socialization
every year since being
born free and clear of obvious defects
minus alien aberration, Russian collusion...,
nor deplorable crooked Hillary accusation
and submucous cleft palate

inducing severe nasality

The nagging,
The pushing,
The constant prodding.

You try,
You work,
You make headway,

But it's ignored,
It's not enough,
It's never enough.

You become bitter,
You're angry,
You become morose.

Your will is strong,
You've done your best,
You're clearing hurdles,

But you aren't fast enough,
You aren't strong enough,
YOU are not enough.

The nagging is back,
The fault finding is back,
The...
