Welcome to the Fatherless

Have you ever watched the light,

The diamonds of the mind,

Fade out of focus never to return?

Felt your forefathers disappear

From your reality only to haunt

You in the dark of night when you

Are all alone and feeling like

You're out of time?

Marched down the aisles of faces

That are burned into your eyelids,

So whenever you close your eyes,

To try and be alone to escape,

With a weight in your hands

And on your shoulders?

Well then join me,

Brothers and sisters new and old,

Welcome to the fatherless.

Welcome to the ranks,

With tired eyes and weary hands,

We are joined in mourning.

Welcome to the fatherless.
