Joshua Brown
A child is a human, complete and fully formed
But not innocent.
His map is being written, the day he is conceived.
The thoughts he has,
The moves he makes,
Are his.
But crafty he must be and strange as it may seem,
Survival is his only wish
And you,
Are you?
To kill a child
Is but to kill a man
The child he wills to live.
Cope, fight, adapt, give in.
What e'er it takes
Is but the life he has to give.
Teach him then to protect you,
He will.
And despise his own breath.
A child is not innocent
For he vanquishes the weak.
Even if it's his own soul
Demanded at the
Blood stained
Tear wet
Altar of parental death.
Beware of this
The cursed script of the
Genesis Breed Command
To evolve, adapt and overcome
That God gave thus to man.

Thanks for reading this "A Child is not Innocent" which is a reflection on the dark instincts that bring abused children to adulthood. In my opinion, it is so important to honor and reflect on the utility of behaviors that protected you from real fucking danger. I also recommend checking out "Female Empathetic Male" another one of my poems that explores the dark side of female in-group preference and sexual mate selection. Highly recommend!
