Running From The Son

Running From The Son

A Poem by Vic Frederick
"

Actually, Lyrics to a new song I recently wrote.

"
Verse 1

You

Compensate

For the fate

That you circumvented

 

I

Stand aside

As you hide

In this reinvented life

 

That you built

Out of guilt

For the ones you victimized

 

With the lies

That you spun

Now you’re running from the son

 

Refrain

You are hiding in the open

Sheltered by the truth unspoken

Ignorance is how your trust is won

 

Keeping those around you blinded

Only keeps me well reminded

Of the darkest deeds you’ve ever done

Running from the son



Verse 2

You

Know the truth

Of the youth

Who were subjugated

 

I

Know the lie

You devised

With this venerated plan

 

Where you stand

Like a man

Who deserves reward and praise

 

You may daze

Everyone

But you cannot daze the son

 

Bridge

You are the hypocrite who plays the rising star

I am the man who all our brothers think you are

 

Final Refrain

You are hiding in the open

Sheltered by the truth unspoken

Ignorance is how your trust is won

 

Keeping those around you blinded

Only keeps me well reminded

Of the darkest deeds you’ve ever done

Lies that you have spun

Watching as you run

From the rising...son

Write it down, get it out, rock it.
This serves more than the purpose of prose.
Your vocab is improving :)
