The words are there written,
In font one size small,
And yet my set brain does not,
Get them at all.

For how does one answer,
A question so broad,
When to have ingrained morals,
Is to have ingrained flaws.

I love how you put so much into so little. The words are perfectly placed and your heart flows into each one.
