Fatherland
You remove the joy
then as sure as endings
faith will follow..
It takes time to beat the boy
the young can mend,
are resilient
but persevere
the cracks will
widen.
Fill that space
with fear,
shame
ridicule,
despair
let that
fatten.
Marinade
in isolation.
There you
have him.
Have him
beaten...
So kick him out
as Man.
Out
into the plan-less
waste of living,
Then watch the fruit
of all achievement
cast from your
own spiteful holding
rot beneath
the tree
from which
it fell....
not gender specific
there are many shot down by the starting pistol.
