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
