Now let us take a step farther
Since you’re here now
We’ll start there
Tell us about your home
specify
What do you mean by home?
I’ve heard you have more than one
Tell us.
What is wrong with home?
Home is here
I have three
One far
One near
One in between
I am far
That’s where I’ll start.
This is the ‘main’ house so it seems
When ‘visitors’ come over I’m first to go
When we have ‘family’ dinner it’s rare to show
A smile, one real
Because that’s not the show
At dinner we start with a lecture
You should care for you ‘elders’
By ‘elders’ I mean for yourself
Because what ever you do reflex on ‘ourselves;
That’s the main point
But I’ll continue
“We want you to depend on us” BUT
“We have no time for you.”
I’m tired
I’ll do it tomorrow
I have things to do!
I need the today!
Oh, well
Boo Hoo
“You’re so selfish!”
“You don’t think about us!”
“Don’t expose us to the world.”
“You’d be giving to much”
“Information” “To those around us”
Sorry, Mom
I already told everyone my thoughts
“Keep your mouth shut.”
“If you have nothing good to say don’t say anything at all!”
“Let them do wrong.”
“Don’t judge.”
“Don’t affiliate with them.”
“Let them be.”
How can this be?
Let them do wrong
Let them?
No no
THAT is wrong
I’m going to go tell them what I think
“No! Don’t do that! Don’t worry about them!”
And let them stay ignorant
Oh! Let’s just be vague.
That’s not what we’re here for
“Oh, Behave.”
No! I shan’t let them be
How can I wish
How can this be
Let them do wrong
Let me,
At least, Ask them what they think
Why?
What is that important to you?
You should care more about your family.
My family?
You mean those people who ‘hold’ me?
Down.
More likely
Hold me up and give me confidence?
No.
Didn’t think so
Family.
The reason why I have three homes
Family.
“Don’t talk about your family like that.”
