Joshua Brown
Trundle beds pulled out but he did not
Well she fucking said to do it
How was I supposed to know she
Changed her mind
Caught you
Satan
Welp not really my idea
But she was ready for immortalization
In time by creation
Without pair bonding
One hail mary attempt
To use that maternal pine
To escape all danger
Sired by thine own acts
Time after time
Gong rings out.
Preach to her oh man
And defer not
Sire thine own inheritance
Or else become stained
With the inaction
Of action
To rip open thine flesh
As some cesarean
From head to toe
And return thine innards
Those organs holy
To the sun's brutal flagellations
That they may experience
Some semblance
Of life
Which thou refusedst to give to them
By duplication into eternity.
Who fucking cares?
Either preach to her and save her
Bring her in that ark
Built by thine own hands
With the children of thy loins
Or preach to her and lose her
As her that turned to salt
But either way, preach.
Well and did you preach
Antecedent to the arrival of Gott
And even before love divorced free
Words who corrupted and poems
Instead of paternal instinct
Roamed free to
Deus the Stepfather dispaired
And brought to not by deception
Shallow lie of connection
Pretended to protect
Destined instead to danger
And eyes blind to survive.
Congratulations, Son!
You have graduated into Real
And give no place to Satan
Whose fatherhood is fake
And one more step invites
Towards that precarious hell
Of complete annihilation
And be emprised instead
In collusion with virtuous truth
To protect
And defend
In safety.

Lying to yourself, while a moderately useful strategy as a kid in unsafe environments, is incredibly dangerous as an adult. Don't do it. Break that habit cold turkey. And if you don't feel safe telling the truth to the people in your life, look, in the interest of your own safety, please consider moving you and your family into safer circles where you can be real about the dangers you see and are unwilling to risk your family with.
Every second spent hedging your bets is another second severing the ties of your heart from those your heart is primed to protect.
