The Emotional Orphan

The Gestation and Lifespan
of Love Has Been Proven
To Be Equal To That of A Child.
If Not Aborted
As Is Sometimes Desired
If Not Nurtured
As Is Sometimes The Case
The Result Is The Same.
Death.
Nine Month Love.
Some Would Just as Soon
Abandon It In A Hospital
At Birth.
Too Overwhelming.

A Child
A Western Poet,
An Eastern Poet,
None Will Be Abandoned.
In A Hospital
One Fights To Live.
One Goes Into Hiding
Resurfaces Again And Again.
Or Not.
One is Killed
In Spirit-In Memory.
In Honor of A Lie.
He Loved Too Much.
Too Overwhelming.

Not an Isolated Incident.
No One Is At Fault.
No One Is Responsible.
No Power To Stop It.
It’s The Human Condition.
And It Started In A Nine Month Cycle.
If Not Aborted
As Is Sometimes Desired
If Nurtured
As Is Sometimes The Case
The Result Is The Same.
Death.

Too Overwhelming.
And Not an Isolated Incident.
