father of the year
they found him with a 12 gauge hole in his chest
he put a hose in hell and siphoned it
the rain fell in sideways drops that washed and wished all those worldly worries and wrongs right away
today is the day
first responders didn't bother
the past weeks of conversation with his father
ensued enthusiasm to continue to wander
funny the first time i'd meet my friend of 15 yrs and roomate's old man was at his son's funeral parlor
he only lived ten miles away
but now just like everyone else he will try to portray
this picture of dedication, loyalty, and concern
cry now
act like your eyes burn
at the open faced altar of no return
"i've heard alot bout you"
but seen more pictures of intestinal worms
we all knew he was leaving
so did you but you just said have a nice evening
quite decieving
your straight face soft handshake and freshly pressed suit
signifies this is still all about you
a room full of fair weather friends drug dealers and haters
should have made your peace sooner than later
the only person who believes your bullshit is the fuckin undertaker
until the circle is complete
i know you will not weep
but that was the last fuckin day either of you will ruin for me
he put a hose in hell and siphoned it
