Sins of the father

My thought on a man...

You've given me some

A name, A life, Half of a face

But you were never there

never in a parents' place

I see you only on occasion

In the stars we find our chance meet

my confidence ebbing away

And my mind hid and covered by a sheet

I'm told I owe you nothing

But to any being I give all

My feelings go out to everyone

This is how happiness enters my thrall

I leach my joy from others

Through contentment given I too receive.

but to you I owe nothing

and now Im staring to believe 

You have other children

you're seed sewn to god knows who

And now I here of your crime

Still I pray it isn't true

In a cage higher powers send you

for my kin you have chastised 

your own children?

Now I'm told you're to be despised

You've given me some

A name, A life, Half of a face

but you didn't raise me

for that I thank god's grace 

My name is Link

Now take it back

Reviews

[patricia]

strong emotional words from an honest mind.

[Silent Knight]

It's very interesting.

[Your Perfect Disaster]

I like it. It's very forthcoming and moving. Inspirational actually. The words and the ways in which you used them seemed to flow together perfectly and without too much stress. I like it.
