all relationships...

all relationships

of love

friendship

kindness

and it is said

even hatred

or is that merely

a reflection

of one's own

frustrations

both parties

must partake

effort

understanding

empathy

and consideration

a bond

a connection

a conduit

of emotion

sparked

to fire

as warmth

or do you

burn

the house down

dumb ass

open the window

at least

the blinds

to see

the simple

tiny

world

that builds

around you

dog

or cat

boy

or girl

or just squirrels

in the back

feeding nuts

unshelled

for they too

need

the effort

the purpose

the drive

inherent

for man

homo sapien

sapien

can be

a cruel

viciously

selfish being

inherent

or learned

the debate

rages on

education

corrupted

as is

the divide

of family

not all

will reproduce

yet

we are all

parents

of the youth

examples

guiding lights

educators

whether

you are teaching

to fish

or grill

the catch

each step

as important

as the next

and in

the complexities

of population

growth

progress

verses

demise

is key

being lazy

looses the way

lackadaisical

a luxury

lost

that must

be found

we are designed

to feed

on intellect

on emotion

love

brings reward

and pain

in loss

take hold

if what burns

inside

build

and share

that wealth

of table scraps

chef

your own design

plate

the harvest

of humble knowledge

be gentle

be kind

be loving

in all

relationships
