"The Risk" - My Testimony Poem from Salvaged Pages from the diary of Elisabeth Kaufman
The disadvantage would be
I wont attend school
Its not serious though
The school will dissolve itself
Separating from mother for an uncertain period of time
is more grave
These are abnormal times
which we may lose each other.
On the other hand, I'm keeping mother from working.
But the advantage is great.
I'll be completely taken care of
and I'll earn enough salary to help mother stay alive
Taking this risk also is justified
By the fact that the opportunities for leaving will diminish in time
I wont attend school
Its not serious though
The school will dissolve itself
Separating from mother for an uncertain period of time
is more grave
These are abnormal times
