much too late

The lesser of the two evils
Was never my cup of tea
And the offspring of the those thoughts
Died at birth
Strangled by the umbilical cord
That nourished in the dry womb

The devil in her Sunday dress
Twirling her strong finger at the
Stain glass replica of Mother’s final words
Years before they gave life
To unexpected death

Regret takes a godly form
Like father’s funeral was digested
With street drugs and foreign men
All warning he expressed
Was left to the black cat
Of my rebellion-
The perfection of suppression

I’m sorry

I think we're all in agreement about your opening lines!

And your final line stands lonely at the finish, a nice metaphor.

Yup. You had me from the beginning.
I'm going to have to let this roll around in my head for a while before I can fully express how much I love this.

I think I met this lady. She has this way of looking down her nose, She thinks she has all the answers but she is so wrong.

Great poem again we all aspire to be so good with words and to use them as you the master artist does to paint such vivid pictures.

Beautifully done - love the lesser of 2 evils bit. Do the dead forgive. I believe they always must - and that your rebellion is what would be most fondly treasured about you.
