A Mind Cracked After Owner Was Attacked

A mind has irretrievably cracked, After its owner was purposely attacked, The fact as clear as Midday Sun His attacker was his own son! A doubly chilly killing discovery That defies one to hint at possible recovery The Attack: Son’s intended disrespect By way of insistence to publicly inspect And strictly every goddamned aspect Of Daddy’s avowed honest prospect: Daddy’s sincerity of purpose making a trifle And he sure that his son did secret laughter stifle, Though with a face officially contorted Sometimes with mockery distorted … A son impressing his having acquired All that it clearly required To a father’s feeling pointedly ruffle And forewarn his dropping in the next shuffle.
