Name Poem Same

Just because I changed my name

Need not make me less the same

Yet differently known by name

Is naught but of social fame

For I am still my parent’s daughter

Still nobody’s lamb to the slaughter

Still mother to my son’s naughtier

Made by their father’s dangerous games

Is nobody likely to blame

My sons naught ill defined in name

For the bind of mine takes the cake

And in Heaven will Djinn have been awake
