Fatherless
Fatherless inheritance
Passed on through generations
As my father had a father
Taken from a bullet
Such engraved his name
That engraved his ability
To translate the love he forgot
Through a remorse in loss
He died to
Forgetting the ones my mother birthed
And so I forgot before I ever got
The love of my father
Choosing a powdered remedy
With suicidal tendency's
He passed to me
So I gave to them
A father whom had a father
To cowardly to fill his shoes
So he wore his without socks and sizes small
Creating a stench
Cologne could not disguise
As I see our son grow
Wanting to do all he can to fill his shoes
Unrealized there warn of sole
This cycle has to be broken
