For Josh Q On His Bar Mitzvah

We see flashes

Society Cherished Child

When does a child become society’s child?
Some children are forced out of being children
Some are put back into children mode which is hard 
The fact that this happens is because of parents not thinking

Blessed with lady-luck in heap
Prosperity is his origin I guess

Plausible Denial

T'is politics where man excels, 
for it protects the lies they tell. 
Of pomp and ceremony he employs, 
voters manipulated like children's toys.

and religion does so happily bless.

White trees of massive strength holding
tons of snow never cracking and toppling,
I'm captivated by their glossiness
more than the velvetiness of roses!

It's winter's invasive silence totally dire 
that ushes the murmurs of their leaves

Loss caused by powerlessness and helplessness as its heart,
Gloom and sorrow and sadness as its despondent spare part;
Anger and fear as lifeblood; despair and guilt as its veins; 
With somber moods, melancholy is a bundle...
