Negative Inspiration


Who ever said inspiration was all positive?

It is the hesitation I get when you can't ask of anyone

Mom is the rolemodel, Dad just a deposit of

an entity that is there when he pleases.

You cannot simply pick and choose when being a parent

for you are supposed to be the example but sees his-

self doing other things and his lies becoming transparent.

It is the black mother left to be both man and women to compensate

for this young boy is growing up in a cruel and unusual world.

Preparing him by inspiration did wonders to what could have been the same mindstate

as the man before him but as life uncurled

The boy grew up to be a man inclined

not to follow his father's design
