THEN.

Fashioned into positions of acceptance,

Life assures through consequence,

Child, adolescence and adulthood

the common sentence,

as the in-betweens, emotions, dreams,

Psychological issues, move with the

physical appliance,

Modes of conditioning, intention and

guidance,

Lay air filled foundations, rebellious angst

courting degrees of determined hunger for

ambitious vainglorious reliance,

There's no physical past to live and comprehend,

There's only the present; show to live and tend,

There's no future but its space filled with intent,

But the manifestations of a blessing or curse cannot

show before then.
