How We Do Family

The old have their superstitions,

Tiny rituals they keep under their breath

Spitting incantations

Sweep of broom stick, and what the hex?

Is Grams commanding demons to

“In the name of the Father

And his son Jesus!”

“To get out of this house!”

We all have one of those.

Or a lost cause / loose canon

Black sheep first cousin

Into bestiality, or something unacceptable

Perhaps their smell or appearance?

But with all the many different kinds

Of races of people / faces

Painted, pierced, gold plated,

We are biologically similar

The homosapien kin

Bleeding tribes, clans, houses,

Fathers and sons

Who believe in war for the higher cause$

All above / us below

How does that way of life live?

When the world dies

Misunderstanding...

But we tolerate our addict uncle,

Our hooker aunts, sisters,

Because our humanity for family

Shouldn’t change what our eyes must see

Can’t push brick mansions

But we all can climb every wall

How we do family

(Together standing tall)

Love accepts without opinion

Without doubt or regret

No hate to have dominion

Peace be

All the best ...

How we do...
