Love Poem: Left Behind

Left Behind

Oh could one crawl back
into the womb, till a brighter
birthday; till the time of
a blissful After-parting – 
but the wailing from our 
failures would shake us
from the boughs of Heaven
down to the bowls of Hell – 
Birth is a saving grace...
a duty to self and offspring...
a duty to peers, nation, and
ultimately world: there is 
no paradise for any...if left
behind a hell for even one....
