Receiving Shamelessly
I watched my son
when he was born
so shamelessly receive
while at his mother’s breast
her milk.
And there was ne’er
a question raised
about the how (or why)
she lived to deed
her milk away
when all that he
exhibited
was greed.

And there was ne'er
a question raised
about the how (or why)
she lived to deed

So when it’s asked
(if it is asked whereof)
just how it is
that certain (many) people chose
to body generosity
despite the fact
the world is full
of selfishness
and enmity,
the answer's “they
abide in love”.
