Taught to FlockA Poem by Kenneth Stephen GoodpasterTaught to Flock
If birds of a feather flock together, Then it haunts me why some are born better. Naturally, who can we call the best And what then makes him better than rest?
Him not her, for she is made for lesser When his rib gave a wicked birth to her To be damned for defying his father. But, aren't we all taught from mother?
Defying the father makes you lesser, Less than the lowest, filthiest sinner To be damned for not having a blind belief. But, aren't we all taught to look before we leap?
The wicked lovers are made for lesser, For one love, man and woman's, is better To be damned are those loving diversely. But, aren't we all taught our souls are lovely?
If each one of us have been taught the same, Then it haunts me why only some feel shame. © 2014 Kenneth Stephen Goodpaster |
