A car cant start without its fuel
But the fuel is useless by itself
The handler of the pump ought to be taught how it must be used
‘Dad,how do i use a pump?’
But no answer can come from the man of gasoline
Or his wife of matches
Because if a car is damaged from the start
No fuel can alter its build

A car without gas a gun without bullets, a poet without words. A most mind provoking write
Marissa, this is a powerful metaphor. The image of fuel, pumps, and damaged machinery creates a stark reflection on upbringing, guidance, and the limits of what can be repaired later. The final line lands with real weight. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
