Complication

CondemNation
no red on white
only blues
baby blue
caught up in a striped
startled umbilical noose
mothers should
mainline love
through
the same stream
my child
you're a wasted dream.
i've opened up to show
strangers the sacred
front door to your home
fed you nothing but
dirt from the start
inhaling clouds of
smoke - and now
i've got no hope
just a choice
a decision that has
been made
i can give you life,
and take it away
just the same
this power makes
me bleed
and weep inside out
my child
precious but unwanted
i've done you nothing but wrong
an awful existence
i'l send you off
but i'll never forget
and i'll hold the thought
of what you could have been
dear to me - forever
so long as i live hopelessly
in this condomNation
with the right to choose
