The Sever

 

The cut of life begins, severed

umbilical cord divides the mother

from her son, he becomes self-dependent,

welcomes education and the institution of

knowledge only to render halfway through,

and disconnects from family to raise his own, 

applies his warmest regards to education, wallows

in menial work, engulfed in servitude and always 

serving the rich, he becomes disheartened, fails 

his dreams like many before him, he then terminates 

his marriage in defeat; inherits one fine loyal pet, 

alas, fourteen years later, dog dissevers from the lonely 

pair, slowly as the watched kettle but hurried as the

morning sunrise, time evaporates his friends, family, and

hope, he finds religion but realizes it's nothing but scheming 

zealots who want control, woe the cleave that wove the guilt;

he walked to gape one last time to witness the only miracle

of life-the unlading sunset, yet, soon it too departed over

his hill of misery.
