Words for an Abandoned Child in Starbucks - Sonnet
From Winning the War Within: Collected Sonnets
Lead your own life find your own self hold on
Your mama's on the cell phone as you sit
Alone as some lone senior deemed long gone
Here in this Starbucks in a little bit
She'll wordlessly get up and lead you out
Give up take refuge find the God inside
Better an inner joy than outer shout
What mama slights closed eyes can open wide
Perhaps she's not your mama after all
Or else your daddy's darkness has prevailed
From where I sit I see your dark hair fall
What difference does it make the family's failed
Good riddance to all genders all blood lines
It's to the dream within our heart inclines
Your mama's on the cell phone as you sit
Alone as some lone senior deemed long gone
Here in this Starbucks in a little bit
She'll wordlessly get up and lead you out
Give up take refuge find the God inside
Better an inner joy than outer shout
What mama slights closed eyes can open wide
Perhaps she's not your mama after all
Or else your daddy's darkness has prevailed
From where I sit I see your dark hair fall
What difference does it make the family's failed
Good riddance to all genders all blood lines
It's to the dream within our heart inclines
