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.

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
