Father and Son

A father grew up without his own.
He felt like he had to take on the world alone,
He managed to make some true friends and even a wife,
so together they gave birth to new life,
when it was all said and done,
they gazed upon their baby son,
the son grew up with his father’s name,
And they also looked the same,
through the years they would clash all day,
this even caused the son to dash away,
they tried to get along for the mother’s sake,
but it all broke down like a sour cake,

The grass in the yard needed to be cut,
it seemed the son wanted to do everything but,
The father had enough and he grabbed his boy,
he choked and threw him like a dog does a toy,
the son stared at this man right in the eye,
the only thought that ran through his mind was “Why”?,
the son cuts the grass with his thoughts on his father’s doom,
afterwards he quickly goes to his room,
as he lies on his bed and stares out at the night,
he quietly tells himself that everything will be alright.
