Aquisition



If all that I know, is all that you've shown me-
Then all I can do, is what you have done.

This restricted education permitts no pleasure of knowledge
I become another member of your belief system, another deliverer of your message.
A faith cannot exist without a cause to believe in
Your justification is again another passed on shared concept, unshared but imposed in your conditioning

Your invented religion is a form of your own control,
A community of morals
Needed no doubt, for equilibrium, consensus, a rule book to live to until old.

Yet if I submit to your lessons in life
I am merely to repeat your stresses and strife

If I do not do, as you have shown me
Then I can learn, what you have not.

Life has a funny way of throwing lots at you, and we as humans make some pretty odd choices at times too, based on all kinds of emotions.I have no outlet for how I feel as at all times, I have to be professional, a mother or a wife. Poetry is my way of taking a feeling and allowing it to turn into what ever it wants.My writing is emotive and pretty simple. I guess I just wanna say how I feel. Thanks for looking, Kllaire more…
