Black Seed

Kurt Philip Behm

The sins of the father

the sins of the son

Repentance left vacant

each sorrow rerun

An age of despondence

an age of denial

The past beyond hope

—the future beguiled

    Dear Kurt,
    A gem of a poem.

    ā€œThe past beyond hope
    ā€”the future beguiledā€

    Your ending to ā€œBlack Seedā€ reminds me of a conversation I once had with a relative of mine.
    I ended the conversation with the following words:
    Care and caution can prevent crash and burn.
