make a child

by J. P. Davies

adult,
make a child.
build it up and die
pass the buck.

Let it feel,
make it bleed.
leave it alone,
take the blame.

you didn't
teach it to be;
to exist alone
isolated.

is this life?
what we've been building
is a mockery of time;
a farce.

play the part.
know your role.
and concede
everyday.
