Lone Survivor

It takes a lot to harbor my interests now,
Granted from the follies of a misspent infancy.
Taught to hone the apogee of my intelligence,
To contain my own ignominious soul.

What happened?

Ages of altruistic youth that gave way,
Eons of deprecation that replaced,
Oh such innocent philanthropic children,
Look what you have become…

Numerous emissaries lay victim to the cause.
Convoys in endless processions…
Line after line,
One after another.
They all fell down.
How would it feel to be the only one left?

How does it feel?

Mariah...
I recall when you were just a few years old ( four years I think) You with your infant wisdom ...looked him up and down and remarked that he had a black heart. Your observations were as keen then as they are now, if not...more. The pity is not seeing one's self in their own reflection and not having the compassion and sonsiderstion it takes to love. These types of humans are sub humans who know nothing but their own greed and show allegiance to nothing but their own ideas. Children, wives...just family have no business with people like this. They deserve that cold place where they give and get nothing in return.
You've won. I won and all of the other's can breathe easier now.
I love you. You will get through this.
Mom
