Dad Is Dead

So what? No more new toys for you No more bread at breakfast No more noisy shoes on Christmas And no more having more Did i kill dad? No! Why then the corporal punishments? Because dad lost the job Dad lost the breath Dad lost the plan Dad lost you Dad is no more Why punish me not the job? Dad got money from there Can i go and get it? Not now but one day you will What about you? I will go but i have to first make you know That i am not Dad because he took off Now he is sleeping We have to spend less Work a lot Play less Why don't you awake him? He is dead! What does that mean? It means close your eyes Stop breathing Sleep in a big box People dig a whole hide you there And you disappear forever Wow that sounds fun mum can i join the game? Stop! Why? Its no game, its painful game of loss! Mum, you cry when i climb trees When dad wants to go with me you scream But dad always makes cool choices You don't understand son, Your father has played the superman game The monster broke his neck And now he is lifeless like your toys All the people that came here were on your Dad's funeral Your father is dead You are now an orphan, son! Mum, dad is in the game I know dad he will rise again Kick the monster, break its neck and throw it in fire Like what he used to about Jesus And you will know he is not like my toys I know son Right now you cant understand but later you will I know mum Right now you cant understand but later you will In memory of my late father who passed on in 1993 while i was a little boy

This is quite a story looking back at that time of sadness. Your point of view now of a child is well done.
