fathernot.

by Benjamin Tegeler - Taurus - Not entered

memories of fathernot seep through
shadow cast by absent light
form this fractured son untrue
too tired too sleep, too sick too try

as sleepless mother coldly weeps
sisters, brothers turn away
seeds of sorrow father reaps
still this shattered son grows grey

fathernot fathernot name so cold
your broken boy can't even cry
one son is bought the other sold
and without father soon will die

Reason for writing:

    catharsis
