Shunning the Father - Revision

This is the story of a young lady named Lue, Who didn't exactly, know what to do. Her father, a scholar, a man of great means, Had taken over her life, or so it did seem. A patriarch strong, stalwart and true; Intense convictions, his world askew. Ideas anathema to his family's ears; His children's ideals did he justly fear. A man is a fool who cannot compromise; He is neither worthy, nor is he wise. One who would impart erroneous views; Exploiting the children for his own personal muse. It was not a decision easily made, Not one to a parent would have ever betrayed. A final, fateful decision to be forever apart, A choice of the spirit and breaking heart. Thus it was made for all time to come, That the father be shunned, never more to come home. All because a man would not bend his will, Forever to him, his family be still. Denial Contest
