Is conditioning influenced
Specifically from heritage
Is there ever an instance
When we influence them instead?
Are our elders way too set in their ways
For our betterment
To be engaged for progressive change
And development
Or the better question is
Are we already settled in?
Beyond our self-perception
Our fenced in sentience
What if we had never met
Any of our parents but
Raised in foster care instead
An orphanarium
Would we still carry their
Ideology in our psychology?
Or are we free now
To be ourselves, without an apology.
To Be Frank:
