Song For My Father


I am screaming... and you can't hear me.
I am screaming... and you won't heal me.
I am screaming... and you don't help me.
I am weeping... and you don't seem to care.
I am weeping... and you won't soothe me.
I am weeping... and you can't see me.
I am thrashing... and you can't understand me.
I am thrashing... and you won't stop me.
I am thrashing... and you don't even care.
I am silent... and you are blind.

"We also know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."- Henri Poincare (1854-1912)

Perhaps your song will help him to see...
