You made me come here

I want you to be here

But you took away my computer

I own the computer

You forced me here

I made consequences

I don't believe anymore

You believed before

What happened Son?

Will you listen Mom?

Did someone hurt you?

No one hurt me.

So science changed your mind

Yes evidence changed my mind

Evidence points to intelligent design

It neither disproves nor proves

What about when you die?

I'll find out when I die

How can I help you believe?

Nothing will change my belief

I see we will agree to disagree

Sure, I agree to disagree

I want you to know I love you

When I feel it, I say I love you

Well, I love you and good night

Mom, you're weird; good night

    They will decide on their own and with grace. Nice depiction in your poem.
