Poetry: Returning to God

The Forgotten Father

.

The taught values have faded

And lessons of youth, gone.

Were they ever real, or

Just a fleeting illusion?

.

The universal Father, soon

Forgotten in this dimension,

And discarded from life,

Watches his children, in dismay.

.

The scattered siblings are

Living their own way

Riches they acquire, and

Claim the glory for them.

.

When all is lost, and

They are no longer sitting

In the catbird seat, they’ll

Seek the Father and ask, “Why?”

.

Just look in the mirror,

My friend, and there you

Will see who’s to blame

Staring back at you.

.

    If everywhere

    Returning to God
    In the city I was born

    I tried
    The material game

    It hit me
    The day I fell ill

    It forgot my friendship
    It forgot
