MORALITY POEM

VERY DIFFICULT CONCEPT TO PUT

FOR LOVE
NO MATTER FRI'ING PAN' IN HAND
TEN KIDS & A HUNGRY FAMISHED HUSBAND TO FEED

YOUR KIDS WILL NOT PERISH FROM THIS EARTH DURE'ING THE
FIVE MINUTES TOU SHARE WITH THE WOMAN WHO BIRTHED YOU THERE'S
ALWAYS TIME
FOR LOVE
TO ANSWER THE LETTER SENT TO IOU
NO MATTER IF YOU'RE UNDERNEATH THE CAR TRY'ING TO
PULL THE TRANSMISSION CAUSE YOU HAVE SO LITTLE MONEY THAT YOU
DO NOT SEE ANY WAY POSSIBLE OUT OF THE TUNNEL & ITS FREE-ZE'ING COLD

ON YOUR HALF FROZEN FACE
PAUSE, STOP GET OUT FROM

WRITE THE LETTER TO YOUR EX-LOVE EXPLAIN'ING WHY YOU HAVE NOT
WRITTEN HER BACK AFTER MANY LETTERS CAUSE YOU'RE GOOD
DEEP FRIENDS NOW AND THE ONLY WAY SOMEONE CAN
FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT TOU ARE GOING
THRU
IS WITH
INFORMATION

BE IO,OOO THINGS GOING ON & SILENCE
MAKES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
CLEAR
HOW CAN WE EVER GROW TO UNDERSTAND
MORE ABOUT HOW WE CAN TREAT EACH OTHER IF
WE DO NOT SHARE OPENLY OUR FEELINGS
WHY DID WE MEET EACH OTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE?
SHARE SO MUCH LOVE LIFE RESPECT
TO THROW IT AWAY
WITH SILENCE
