Poem

Motherly Love

When we teach compassion, there is no need to identify “evil”

fill up their bellies
while you fill up their minds
slice indoctrination
into each serving of pie

preaching of love
from a book laced with hate
professing false prophesies
slip oleaginous lies

tuck them in with their night lights
while you tuck in the doctrines
under broadsheets of dogmas
curled tight at their feet

it’s how you reason your teachings
and how you season your soups
top with a dollop of compassion
when sowing your seeds
