My Dear Daughter

(who never was)

Perhaps my womb had a view  

And so she never ventured out.  

Perhaps she might have seen  

A lot of people who are so mean.  

Perhaps she was aware of 

the thoughtless race for satiety,

The darkest despair of depravity.  

Perhaps she could feel 

the benumbed hearts of millions,

The mechanized brains of trillions.  

Perhaps she could see 

That we are a crowd possessed  

By that mindless urge to seek that extra mile.

Perhaps her soul pined for release  

To enjoy the divine breeze  

Unfettered by the chains of time...  

And this world was not her chosen path.
