NOT IN THE CONTRACT
H. W. Bryce
Blu mini comp Oct 2.21 – …………
The heart attack was not in the contract
When you gave me life.
Nor was the flu, or the cataract.
Yet these things have been rife
I did not agree to arthritis,
Or being tone deaf to music.
I did not wish for the measles,
Or mumps, or the queezies or teasies.
So what is this thing caled life?
Why did you include in sub clause
43, small print, sub section 176, l-a Strife?
Why do you so often put life on pause?
You are the anti Santa Clause.
I did not sign up for arguments or wars.
I did not contract myself as a target
Of abuse or humiliation. I did not
Agree to nonvalidation or nonrecompensation
For wrongs I did not commit but have been
Blamed for. My contract does not force me
To participate in hate or jealousy, spite
Or blame. So why is it in yours?
Evil things are not in the contract.
I didn’t even sign it. You made it up
And foisted it upon me. This “contract”
Is just a selfish, sadist list of your wants.
You are a counterfeiter, a fake, a fraud.
Not in your contract is Love, and Respect,
Humility, Generosity, Hugs and Encouragement,
Praise or Pats on the Back, Smiles, Good
Examples, Innocence and Gentleness,
Coffee breaks, Good Health and Good Will.
This contract of yours misses more than it includes.
This is a one-way demand. I do not agree
With it. I do not accept it. This contract
Cannot be foisted upon me. I will not sign!
For Humanity is not in it. And without
Humanity, this contract is unenforceable.
Because Love is not in it.
