Mother,
I beg forgiveness.
The harm i and
Mine
Have wrought
Has destroyed your form
And poisoned your
Body.

We are but children,
Your children,
Yes.
But we've learned
Nothing from
You.
And less from our
Siblings.
You don't need our
Admittance,
I know.
The guilt is
Spread
Across your
Skin.
Our
Sins,
Forever to
Stain
Your
Beauty.

But this is why I
Speak, now.
This is why we must.
We beg.

Mother!
I beg your
Kindness!
We have
Hurt you,
YES!
But,
I beg.
I plead on
All's behalf,
Forgive us.
We are but children.
Unable to know
Your speech.
Your words, too
Grand for our ears
And
Minds,
For the time.

I implore!
Give us mercy!
Til the day,
We,
Understand.

We are children.
I, am child!
Kneeling before you,
Crying!
I can not
Hear your voice,
Mother!
So i beg,
For us all,
Let us learn.
Let us grow.

And when we have,
If we do not
Listen.
If we
Choose
To ignore your
Wisdom...
I beg you,
Cast us,
Unto the flame.

Children- staining a mother's beauty. What a sad thought.
But it does really do something to her.

Interesting you use a woman here that seems to have the ability to forgive
and accept these pleas for mercy- or throw into the flame.
The one who birthed them in the first place- gets to deem their worthiness.

Interesting piece.
