As It Was Learned in Reflection: Poems by Morgan Garcia

The Darkness Never Leaves

There is a ravaging monster 

inside his head, it

Makes him need to see

the seventh wonder — 

The greatest sin

As carnal man that lies 

with women is only 

A human. 

A Generational Strange

It’s strange how men have failed through generations.

And yet I know this.

And yet I fail with them.

Intended Improvements

I shall be a better man! They 

all wrote in their pages 

of past. But who has

Truly, out-performed

their destiny?

At the Seat of Judgement

As I have judged 

harshly and inflicted my inward

pain onto others, as those have 

done to me in my past,

and present,

and future— 

I am in no position to judge.
