Camera Responsible

Mothers are apologizing for their mistakes

Through the lens of a camera

Guilt laced love-a guilt ridden wife

No time but all the time-here’s your TV dinner

The salty taste of neglect

Have to get away from it all-the chaos of forgiveness

Political correctness

Mass strictness

Paranoia beyond the normal dose

A schizoid is no longer alone

Everyone is an invited Peeping Tom

Parental witch hunts-parameters around the white picket fence

(Don’t let them dictate how to raise your children)

Documenting your life to debunk their suspicions

While confirming you are just as insecure as they are

(You are good person-don’t let them talk you out of it)

Phone in your hands, instead of their flesh

Please don’t feed the lions

Stop giving them what they want

They are all distant from the facets of reality

Not realizing life is full of prisms- a colorful and funny tragedy

Under the spell of blue light

Mothers apologizing through the lens of a camera-not through the eyes of their children

Sorry to the world-why do we care?

Better yet-why do we share our most intimate moments?

Is the world a stage?

And then it hurts us-

As if their words of judgement were weapons-

(The dictionary is the hitmans handbook).

But you love it. You crave the attention

A masochistic refund

You hand them your house keys and then cry victim

Do we honestly owe them ourselves-share our family albums

Mother Nature has no reservations to tear herself apart

How about the child who wants to see the color of his mom’s eyes?

To feel her touch

To have her face and not her back.

Apologize to them—

They don’t want to be distracted like you-but it’s their only choice

Nothing but a lonesome memory- a “knock-knock” without a “who’s there?”

Do not let strangers climb your family tree.

They were never welcomed-at least not to me………
