Dark Data: Life after Life

Dark Data: Life after Life

What if
our lives
merely
are the validation
of the love
we saw
in our parents,

and the love songs
we sing
are the ballads
they gave us.

Then,
our children
do the same
for us.

Generation
after
generation,
we want
to know
that
we were conceived
in love.

And
when that
is unclear,
we blame
ourselves.

What will
your children
blame
themselves
for?

Everything
not
unconditionally
loved.

The only way
our parents
could not
have loved us
is if something
was wrong
with us
or them.

Resolve that
before the end.
