He walks quietly into the room
And sits opposite his father, on the couch
His entrance is stripped of any achievement
Beyond the most basic; as a son
"Is there anything wrong, right now?" he asks
Despite his formiddible intelligence
The art of communication through speech eludes him
Because of the strange choice of words
Which would somehow escape his lips
The effect of this kept you off balance..wondering
I started to laugh uncontrollably
Because I have danced this circle many times
And after a long while, I decided this is because his greatest fear was not me..
But the reflection of himself
When there's a woman in the house, I feel different
Like I shouldn't move
For fear I would upset a tenuous balance of sanity
Watching my manners, mindful of woman's burden
My conclusion is you must take the blame for the suffering in the world
Then, in forgiving yourself you free the world
