Devotion? |
| Shortly after I first met them, something that I said upset them and |
| perhaps we should have parted then. |
| I was saying how important that they |
| were and what a fortune could be made if they would let me try. |
| But I did |
| not understand why they took in and had to stand by those who were so worthless to them both. |
| Then they got extremely angry, shouting that the |
| seedy gang behind them may not have much value in my eyes… but they were |
| people and were needing what we give and if you see them like you see some |
| roaches on the floor, then the sad one must be you who sees himself as too |
| good to do something for the weak or ones with warts. |
| You disdain and |
| criticize someone who has been compromised but really have no values of your own, so maybe you should leave and find some, steal or beg or maybe |
| buy some from a smiling banker or a store. |
| At first I was too shocked to believe they would suggest that I should levae, and what was even worse |
| was that I saw that they preferrred their gutter rutting friends above my smugly strutting. |
| And I admit it stunned and humbled me. |
| So I begged and |
| then beseeched them, «Let me stay and you could teach some sense into this |
| tired old mind of mine."And of course we reconciled with hugging arms and |
| tugging smiles that left me more secure, but still in doubt. |
| I truly loved |
| and felt devotion for them both, but I was broken up and feeling powerless |
| inside. |
| I must become important to them, intertwined with roots into them, |
| or else I’d loose my false and newfound pride. |
