After having endured it all,
The heartbreak of parting
Chasing after one son in your dreams
Raising the other on your own
Inventing stories about his father’s
Glorious escapades,
Dressing his betrayal as some noble cause
For fear that your son may falter
If he knew the truth
How does it feel when your sons
Forget your pain, your struggle
And allow strangers to usurp
Your name and bequeath it
To a foreign God,
That too,
A Father
