Icarus

Beware Icarus your father warns, About you staying in the middle course, Don’t fly too high or you’ll soon learn about the dangers of the melting flare. Oh! Icarus why ignore The wise words of the one you Love Now your wings have melted And your fate has been exerted. You plunged deep into the sea and left your father to weep. It’s so sad how you have passed But not many people have cried. Your tragedy has not been mourned By the ones whose lives still go on. Icarus, you’ll forever be known, as the boy whose father’s advice sadly ignored.
