Part 2: You're OK and You can be Happy




So long as I

Am Dedicated To

Looking after You


But I think you’ve tables to turn

For reasons understood
I must proceed
what I’ve learned
Gratitude for Guidance From Beloved Figures I’ve admired

I feel sad
Probably having placed
Unrealistic hope instead of something more subtle, difficult but appropriate

Not you, Not many people, as you’ve screamed out,
Like My politics, manner or characteristics
But I have to accept that

I’m willing to make small adjustments

But not to be covered from head to toes.
As I’ve promised myself to leave that behind
In previous generations of my personal genealogy.

I know they were certainly
not without intelligence
And abilities,
But that is not good reason to follow their tactics of survival
When I’ve been enabled
Including by
at least some of them.

To try to use better methods,
I’m still trying and continue to do so...
