illnesses too tragic to mention
angrily parading through families
who will be the next victim?
changing your life greatly
obliterating
nonsensical
compelling
intense

Behavior is not hereditary, not in the very least.
We do not inherit behavior from our genes.
What separates a serial killer from a priest,
is the environment that was exposed to each....

We Know Drama
For it's hereditary like bad karma
Especially, if We wear it like a coat of armor
Need it, like We do, Our Black President, OBAMA
If We desire the burdens of a hump-back like an llama...

“Doctor I have chronic diarrhoea
And I think it’s hereditary”
“Nonsense man I can assure you
Diarrhoea is not hereditary,
And no matter how chronic it is
It’s not as bad as it seems”
“But doctor I know it’s hereditary
Because it’s in my jeans”...

I have
My grandmother's chin
When I sew and knot the thread 
Her hands are mine

Her love is mine 
when I dig my fingers in the roots
Of my garden
Her hands are mine 

When I look at my eyes
I see the lines and think of her
Her love is mine

You are still there
But so is she
I look to her when I can't stand the sight of you...

Our synaesthesia is for free,
Music is the muse for me,
It's in my blood, you see,
Images imaginary,
Elvira Madigan wakes to see,
Mozart play Mozart lucidly.
Swooner songs sound so silly,
Old rockers croon so vividly,
Funny lyrics in my brain,
Sounding a little deranged,
(It is hereditary 
in my family)
Yes, Synaesthesia is for free,
Smurfette's songs, so silly....

What makes a person a biker, 
is it something that you can see? 
Is it something that can be acquired 
or is it hereditary? 
What makes a person a biker, 
is it the leather that he wears? 
Is it the kind of scooter he rides, 
or the length of his hair? 
What truly makes a biker 
is what's inside the heart! 
A love for freedom of the road, 
with freedom being the best part...

An art, be it acquired or simply hereditary,
Putting vivid thoughts into exquisite words,
Magician's tricky stick, poet's addiction is poetry,
Cultivated experiences of heartfelt sweet weirds,
Music of life, unsung songs, skill of warriors' swords !

I brought a seed
a capital of life
from the creator
when i was sent into this earth

with
a message
“hold tightly and maintain”

when come it’s time
plant it
fertilizer it
and guard it
let it grow naturally

give the name
a seed of Love

plant it in all places
therefore
it does not extinct
and keep it grow and thrive

let the seed of love
grow hereditary
teach your descendant
to maintain
the seed of Love

Hereditary traits
 
I’m my father’s son I carry his genes
He is a part of me this is inescapable 
If I hate him, I hate myself.
Now that I’m older than my father
He is my son, you can’t help but
Loving your son.
I once saw my father on a bus going
Into town, reached out to say halloo
I, misled, looked out of the window
I saw his tears.
Wish this moment would return
It is my eternal shame
My father is my son, I think of him gently....

I used to love the colour 
Of my eyes
But now I look at the hue

And see you

And as I grow 
So do the similarities
Between us

The lines on my forehead
The curve of my smile
The weight of my brow

It's yours

I wonder how much of me is mine
How much of me you've given,
And how much you've taken with you

When you left

Every mirror I look in
Is haunted by you
I hope I grow to see the truth instead

I hope to exorcise you from myself...
