We are not Olympians(3-8-2012)

We find pride in our offspring,

We grow strong in their presence,

We work hard for their survival,

Leaving nothing out, for them we sacrifice all,

We are not Olympians.

We are taught to champion humanity,

We grow up with trivial strife,

Back stabbing and conniving, quarrelling and wedging war,

Bearing grudges and pointless envy,

Unlawful engagement, deception and disobedience. 

Indulging in the forbidden,

Sharply contradicting our very being,

We do learn, we do improve, we do grow,

Our kids we teach and nurture and cherish,

We sever no links between the generations to come, and to go.
