Birth Family
Their birth family never was a choice.
It is only now that they can give a voice.
Their birth family never was humane.
It is only now that they can show disdain.
Their birth family never was tender.
It is only now that they can hints render.
Their birth family never was polite.
It is only now that they can put the bite.
Their birth family never was decent.
It is only now that they can cry dissent.
Their birth family never was sincere.
It is only now that they can make it clear.
Their birth family never was caring.
It is only now that they can be daring.
Their birth family never was loyal.
It is only now that they can battle foil.
Their birth family never was forthright.
It is only now that they can disunite.
