Offspring.


I hope my children never feel ‘entitled’
The world owes you shit, child
So make good shit happen.
Walk away fast from small minds
Embrace the magnanimous
Say yes when you can
Yes when it will move you forward
Toward the light
Seek the intelligence underneath
The formal education
Look at the heart.
Never stand in judgment
Or think you’re better
Choose the kind option
This may not make you a CEO
These things may not let you
Climb the corporate ladder
But it is you who will inherit
The beacon of happiness
You will glow and inspire and
Think radically without fear
Without harm

And I will be proud of you then,
As I am now
And always will be.
