HELL

Hell in paradise —

That’s my lot.

The good life titillates

But does not deliver.

Can’t accomplish being

The doer, the lover, the giver.

From hell to paradise,

In man’s most inhuman time

They endured.

Children born to replace the dead

But with something missing-

The ability to endure.

From paradise to hell-

The Second Generation,

Destined to carry the burden,

And create a new generation.

These golden seeds of hope

Prove that Rebirth

Takes more than one generation
