Son of a Butcher

Knives fly
cows and chickens die
new world translations
morality always a test
abandoned sons
the fathers crimes exposed
cursed by a closed mind
brainwashed
by voices in the sky
mathematics 
begin to multiply
only then
will fathers repent
and children rejoice
animals roam free
all the living
have precious souls

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 3/21/2019 2:56:00 AM Hi Arthur, For the sins of the fathers, the children will suffer. To repent is the only way to go forward from our first breath to our dying breathe. A gem Arthur. Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Login to Reply
