pursuits

While I was reminescing
a human being I couldn't see
a life valuable, if value of human life,

in me humanity?
in the change of pursuits, I couldn't pretend
its not what I make a means to,   

tragedy that ends

 what could have been  

 innocent,

never again, my name written plain where it goes

that will never change in every book. 

a permanent disgrace.
