Preservation

This is my depressing dedication
to the lustful salvation 
of a father that drownd
in his own sick fantasy
the death to a daughters
innocents and child-like mind
this poem is for a father like mine

This is about his devotion
and lack of education
That confuion made
this is the story the thoughts 
my childhood memories

How a family 
could be torn apart 
from little or no faith
lack of trust and epic humor
happiness was never found

All hope left 
on a world filled with
imagination
no time left 
for an inspirational
mystery for the life of misery

here a peice of passion
to peace of mind how could people
be so blind
I never asked for sympathy
nor did I beg for war
this was just the visionary truth
that made life sore
