I am a zen mother

Wake up, wake up

they need you

 they need you


I look around and see

other faces that are

miles away

dreaming of tomorrow

and sometimes yesterday


I am a zen mother

I am calm

I am neat

I am a bomb

ticking at your feet


Working through my own shit

tryin’ not to lose my shit

they say not to give a shit

I’m here to make sure they don’t

turn into shit


A zen mother I will be

please, I beg of you

Do count on me
