Origin Haiku

 

Born in ‘63

The world at war over race

My parents with me

 

It was always said

Some have kids, some have mistakes

They had two and two

 

Two kids who they love

And two unwanted mistakes

Life is a gamble

 

Two kids to adore

Fifty/fifty chances there

Two more to regret

 

Mistake number One

Drugs and alcohol, she’s dead

Dear God, I miss You

 

Me, I’m Mistake Two

Not sure what to be and do

Seeking my own voice
