A Father's Angst


A time once upon

In a land before dawn

Cometh a boy

Who walks without ploy

 

A boy with out age

A girl with out rage

A mite with out trust

A man with out touch 

 

Here in the tale

The truth shall unveil

That a man with a hook

Was simply mistook

 

A boy was once lost

By a man with great cost

That a child worth much coin

Was of a man's own loin

 

A boy was in danger, that of his own

From a poison he must fully let lone 

It was left to a man to save a child

Who plunged his life in a danger not mild

 

But in the end

The man would not win

For his son, there was no hope 

He was lost in a coma, 

Induced by dope.
