Goodbye My Child

Goodbye my awaiting child,
I cannot let you become.
I made the wrong choice,
And now you must be undone.
Will you come back to me,
When I am truly ready.

It's not a lack of love for you,
the timing is not right.
I will hold you in my arms one day,
and tuck you in some night.

Please try to forgive me,
I am your mother now, and I will be again.

We’ve unstocked the welfare pantry
to restock the wall street gentry
it’s economically elementary
because values don’t pay
yes, american dreams are on permanent layaway!
