People with antlers

memorymortality

People with antlers

Heads full of chaos

Bloody jokers

Silly chokers

With silent screams

Trapped in a mind game

Three scoops

Of heaven

Complete

With a chocolate flake

Not to be sniffed at

Nothing trivial

Is worth the trouble

Of recollection

But remembering

Is worth

All the pain.

When it comes to

Pretending.

The winners

Are the ones who care less

About the outcome.

Nurture the process

Children are fragile

Nothing matters other

Than protection.

Maturation

Is not a given

It is a gift

Of nature

To be cherished.
