Listen

Explain this

There is no answer

The sheepish look is clear

Look down at the ground

Face your mother

She has nurtured you

You steal her energies

Use them for glory

You are like the rest

From you there is no authenticity

Dive deeply into yourself

What do you see

Is there connection

I cannot pity you any longer

There are no more excuses

You know the error of your ways

Your choices were conscious

You think you are righteous

But like the critics of Noah

You will perish in the proverbial flood

Listen

It is your own screams

But it’s too late

There are no more chances

Decisions are complete

These are the consequences

Karma brought of stupidity

Do not beg for mercy

Your mother is being merciful

Sending you home

Just say goodbye

Any who would miss you

Will join you

Those who remain

We will celebrate the living

Not memorialize the dead

Do not look to me

It is not I who have judged you

It is not I who sends you home

It is simply I who have noticed
