i looked at my son's pictures
his eyes squinting bathing in the golden sunlight
and another one with him kneeling
by a fireplace outside captain lounge
playing wood blocks
with a toy sword sticking in his back
how long will his bright smile last
the only sunshine by day and night
welling up happy tears from his mother's eyes?
i was watching a TV program
about the trouble of our inner city boys
it is hard to take in many blows
it is even harder to figure it all out
what else he was suppose to do
to beg for tough love from a father
with whom the mother can not tolerate ?
the more i watched the more i feared
that this violence is more real than i can deal
At work, we're installing this new identix system
out of templates of million mugshots
a search is being demonstrated
to find any possible matches
upon vector feature, local feature
combined with surface analysis
in no more than a few seconds
Technology is so advanced
and woman like myself has been made to believe
that we are equal to face the world
except years of a mother's tenderness
holding up in a boy's life
has been diminished to rolls of digital pictures
showing many angelic childish faces
terribly mismatches of what I saw
those 'presumably' innocent
faces stacked up under criminal suspicions
