pro-con

A mother enters the womb 
to say goodbye to her child
and changes her mind. As a 
result, the child grows up 
awful due to the mother's 
lack of diligence she knew 
up-front she can't provide.
The child grows old harming
& disappointing self and others
all through, losing jobs and loves
each step along the way, every
birthday

party
and all
days in-between,
finding hate, finding  
disproof of all good case
and claim: curses her life, blames
mom - and who knows?
God too,

just in case,
though mom 
said God 
was a joke 
let's not waste 
an infinite target
