Narrative

understanding is a gift 
and it can not be commanded 
so rather than asking the savage "what?!" 
when he is obviously trying 
to tell you something 
in his own language 
 
you offend people 
when you pose your 
emotionally dead question 
it only shows 
that your sensitivity is void 
and that your imagination is null 
but i won't be but a cruel thing 
and leave it there 
but rather 
remember when he said 
to let the kids come to him 
and that you can only enter as one? 
what are you then 
if not a child 
then maybe a monster 
maybe a lie

what he meant
