Woeful
Is life's
Walk
For the
Man
Who
Balks
At denying
Himself
The
Childhood
He never
Had
I
Don't speak
Of
A
World view
Steeped
In self-pity
Or
A victim's
Lament
Injustice
Neglect
Abuse
Need be
Rightly affirmed
Voices
Paralyzed
And
Exiled
Must be
Liberated
Pain excised
Self-destructive
Rage
Brought
Safely
To light
Where
Unmet
Needs
Can be
Acknowledged
Energy redirected
Love's
Transformative
Grief
Must freely
Be allowed
To
Unfold
Through
It's cyclic
Seasons
An
End to
Blame
Shame
Guilt
But
A travesty
Most profound
Is
Committed
When
A
Journey
To
Reveal
Completeness
Is
By-passed
The
Child
That isn't
Afforded
That
Subsequent
Opportunity
To
Be assured
Of
His
Worth
Cherished
As
Life itself
Wholly
&
Completely
Welcomed
Inclusively
Home
Is
Destined
To
Wander
The earth
Among
The walking
Wounded
Believing
There
Are
Only
Two choices
Attack
or
Be attacked
He
Need not
Wonder
If
There exists
A Hell
For
He
Has never
Seen
Beyond
It's
Horizon
