Living isolated in the shadow of defeat,
piece by piece I place the pieces,
giving up mates then weed I had to beat,
released from deceit so nothing reaches,
driven ungraciously weak in my retreat,
teased by grief from fallacious impeaches,
drifting at pace injudiciously indiscreet,
displeasing unabated fatuous speeches
* i was going to call this my struggle, but then i remembered Hitler wrote something called "mein Kampf" which when translated becomes "my struggle". lol

The DNA in our mothers cells
gloriously connects us all,
though injudiciously denied,
the demonstrated evidence ignored.
But that denial serves no one well,
brings only bitter tears,
allows absolution for avarice,
leaves all in troubled houses.
Mothers must have the will to persevere,
hearts that protest wrongs,
the wit to know lies,
and speak clear their hidden realities.
But still we hold to the half-truths
of expedient jealous traditions,
raise soaring barricades to simple reason,
perjure even our future world.
Mothers Day comes when we stop,
question the tales making us worthy,
and the foreigner less than human,
THAT will be our Mothers Day.
