Poem
HIS FATHERS SON 07-23-08 “He is his fathers son” , The one that you should’ve taught, right from wrong He’s the one who you kept waiting all night long. “He is your offspring” , Your footsteps he should’ve been following While teaching him to be king of his own castle to his queen He’s the one that while in the streets, you should’ve been teaching, not to be a drug feen. He is, your fathers grandson, The one “you should’ve showed love to” And how to provide, with the right means Like how you use to love his mom How could you, interrupt his dreams He is your son, For whatever reason your fatherhood was revoked, the day you became dead-beat Telling him about how the system was all a big joke, and when you took off and were on the run, convincing him, it was all in fun “that day” He was your one and only” , You decided “that moment” That you were more important, you placed him under the gun, in harms way. He was your son, From conception to now, the streets consumed him, ever since you walked out and left town, WOW! Until “NOW“, he was a good child,, never disrespectful, boastful or loud He choose a good path, one that was directed, by the only Father, with whom his earthly father never connected… His number has been called, and your no longer around And all of the other fathers sons are watching with their sons, as they’re lowering Your only namesake’s casket into the graveyard grounds. He was His Father’s son, but please don’t you ever get it twisted, Because our son knew whose last voice he heard, before he breathed his last breath, And was Heaven bound.
