Happy Birthday
Some lessons we can’t avoid, we scurry, we hide, we hope to avoid our fate this time, but we are where we are, somewhere, along this river, flowing through all of space and time, there are some things we must simply see, recognize, we need it in our minds, so that we can pass it forward, to all the others waiting in line, we grow up innocent, we grow hungry, we grow greedy, expand, expand, broken hymens, bloodstains, it’s gross, and it’s ugly, but that’s love, that’s family, partake in this daily bread, do your job, the heavens, and their story, it’s for the good of humanity.
