Offspring
Fame but not in infamy.
A capture of the scene.
A moment in a candle flicker
blinking like a soul machine.
Life is just a mockery.
A disaster of the genes
but even if you know that, daughter,
it won't help you succeed.
Success on merit can curse the pen
to never write again,
a better death is worth much more
than life immersed in pain.
So seek my soul and bare by cross
and punish me for youthful loss.
Your cries oh child, oh daughter mine,
aren't cries at me but points in time.
