Father Rick

Rick Wojtala

Free verse
People seem to be hung up on sex, natural and fruitful.
I don’t need it.
I would rather have a career in literature.
You get more done if you were dedicated to your craft.

    At times, I wonder why sex so often gets a bad wrap. We all are here due to sex. That's how babies come into the world. Adam and Eve had their children through sexual intercourse.
    There is nothing wrong with having the pleasure that sex offers. It is part of being human and a far as we know all humanity is here due to sex.
