I’M A STRANGER
I’M A STRANGER HERE ON YOUR PLANET EARTH
Last night on my Vampire show
a gorgeous
un-dead redhead
said to a younger Vamp:
That conscience of yours
it will grow dimmer
with time
You’re still young
and more Human
So the Human conscience
grows stronger
with Time? A sentiment rare & fine
You may think we were
all born with one
My child clients were –
but then it all came undone
When parents locked
them in closets
and made star shaped
burns on their arms starved some too
But what about Love ? they wonder and ponder
Isn’t it the glue
that holds our tribe
together ? Imbues us with Humanity
I struggle with the answer
