His demise, caused by his mind, Was hardly fair. But the universe doesn't cater, Neither does it care. My father, oh father, You once had much to say; But you lost hold of your mind, On one fateful day. Your sickness, It was adamantly there, That's why I won't complain about this burden, Which is wholly mine to bear. Deep down in the ground, You now lay, And I wish I'd known you more, for All I have are distant memories of play. Little boy, Dutiful father, Playing together, Without a bother. I know where you hid, Where you went, You became lost in your mind, Wholly spent. But still, Sometimes I let myself ponder, What we could have had together, If you mind was not forced to wander

My Father, Oh Father
