A SONNET FOR MY SONS

A SONNET FOR MY SONS

Son, the portal's open for you to go
To what the barker beckons is the truth
Though is it now for you to surely know
That all he says is thus when seen in youth?
And yet how shall I make it understood
That through the many doors you enter here
Are lessons so the many lies you can unhood.
And knowing this there's knowledge in the fear.
However, you must enter these alone
And doing so you'll be the wiser soul
If you hearken to what is clearly shown
And make the exit's knowledge be your goal.
Prithee go in thyself, seek thy own ease
And let not falsehoods place thee on thy knees.

~Michael Bahm~
