Our Fathers' Sins
The patriarch of the family sets the tone
and direction of how families should be,
when they are troubled and misguided,
the family eventually gets obliterated,
sometimes the task of family protector
and guide creates angst and turmoil
inside,
high standards and expectations
make them crumble,
leaving foot prints that are indellible,
if only we could escape the legacy
and sins our fathers without creating
disaster,
the good would be purified and held
in high esteem,
while the bad would just drift away
into unknown emotional streams.
