15

this is my confession:

father

all my problems began

when i started chasing God

it kept running

away from me

for my peace peace peace

i stopped.

mother

look at me now

with all the tongues out of my mouth

i no longer taste after righteousness

for whose name sake

will i have to bend bend bend

my back to take on another cross.

child

i chose to anoint myself

with pain and suffering

water and dust and fire

one look around me

everyone is dying dying dying

for God's sake.
