Before Poem by Steve Wheeler

Before



Before they got
Their hands on me
I was unconditioned,
Roaming free
Before they taught me
Who to be
I was unexplored,
A mystery

I was virgin snow,
Unmarked, untrod
A pristine soul
With feet gunshot
Before they marred
My mind with rules
Like all those other
Feckless fools
