Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

The House

A black city
A white city

A rich city
That’s poor

This is the town
That Built me…

This is
The door.

This is the
House & home

Where love hid
In plain sight.

Where I was
Thrown away,

'Unwanted' stalked
Day and night.

A burden carried
Beneath a veneer

Of smiles and generosity,
Service to my fellowman.

With the hope that
Enough good and kindness

Would bury the child I was
When this all began.
