Comes and Goes

Father should have took his life some twenty cycles ago

But he stuck around for the little ones and pre-packaged cans of poison

Saw him through to sixty-two when his mind started to turn

His pituitary pickled and his eyeballs dry from staring

Morning comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes again

Mother should have took the pill at seventeen years of age

Avoided a lifetime of miserable circumstance and graced the stage

But she bore the boys to fruition to save them from the Upside Down Turn Around

Where Robert Mugabe pioneers infanticide

Morning comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes and comes and goes again
