Unconditional, not unlike a dog,
notice the world without judgment, bias,
condescension, discrimination, hate,
only a dog sees past the fear, the fog
no one seems to notice all around them,
decent people do not see how pious
in their expectations they always rate
their family and friends to find fault and blame
in order to restore to their system
of right and wrong, codes of conduct, morals
no one taught them but they assumed were true
as honest as the golden rule, quarrels
let them argue their crafted point of view,
positive or negative, they make shame
of value and belittle their loved ones,
shining in a beacon of righteousness,
in the mirror of a good life lived well,
they cannot see the harm they caused, two sons
indeed could not be more different, the two
very much tried to get along, business
ended their partnership, off a cliff fell
reason and understanding, to regard
even for a moment the unseen glue
gently separate into threads, the men
act distant, unrelated, unlike kin,
rivers of blood flow between them, a hen
drops her eggs in a basket without sin...
...accountability is not so hard.
