Mr. Dale Rodriquez Sr.
From the Series – The Battle between Good and Evil
By Manasiac

They call you a deadbeat dad
A hustler who went to prison
And forgot the son he had

Hanging out with the pimps and crooks
Never realizing that with your transparent parenthood
Was also catastrophic to the road that your only child took

Of course I denied you paternity when you tried
Use to tell folks that my Daddy Died
Never really tried to write you back
I figured you was broke and could not offer me jack

They say to deny a man fatherhood
Is like taking his life
I delighted in causing the unseen anguish
That haunted you because you could not raise me right

As I sit and think about my life
I realize that I had another father
Set to some Mephistopheles to others
He is a grand phenom
Also know to you as Satan or Lucifer
To some he is Ori Buruku or Absonam

I decided one day to give up his ways
And in doing so
Respect to you I payed

I thank you for being there
When you could be
It is hard for a mortal man
To raise the son of an evil deity

I guess this poem is my ode to you
To let you know that even though others consider you a failure
I see you as a man who has survived the pitfalls of life
Glad to see you alive and kicking
Not in the ground somewhere with me visiting at night

Mr. Dale Rodriquez Sr. in 2004 I wrote those words
It is now 2007
My life is banging
The money is rolling
I am in material heaven

I got the XLR
And when I roll
Women think I am a star

But as a sit on this beach alone
With a cold heart of stone
I realize that the money and fame
Still does not fill the empty void
Left by being raised in a dysfunctional home

I remember you asked me about being a father
I politely replied
The souls of women I slaughter

My cold words sunk dip into your mind
I am sorry for hurting your feelings
But being a family man
And you being a grandfather are not going to happen in this life of mine

Even though I think paternity is evil
That does not mean I am going to squander this day
I love you Father
Because without you
My Success will not be this way

Mr. Dale Rodriquez Sr.
Happy Fathers Day
 
But as a sit on this beach alone
With a cold heart of stone
I realize that the money and fame
Still does not fill the empty void
Left by being raised in a dysfunctional home


....heavy :crying:

a bittersweet melody

one thing I do know...is that memories may last

but voids can be filled...

Captivating work...
