Growing Pains
GROWING PAINS
Out of despair man was bred
To be cared for was the aim
Striving to become gods, man lost it
The love once shared now forfeit
Man’s life now a fraction of the original!
In pain Mothers accouch
In pleasure fathers permeate(procreate)
The “bambino” first seen by the accoucheuse
Unrivaled is the mother’s love despite despair.
Her joy is here!
Forgotten is the pain of the mother
Before her is the fruit of her labor
Boundless Joy engulfs her
Her despair has yielded a gift.
Hours turn days, Man is not seen!
Lapsed is the bundle and it’s carrier
As the Procreator wines in a new world.
In shame the bundle is taken home,
To a father who is lost in his own webs.
She could leave, but Love for the infant prevails
