    The Separation

    Father I know there is just one
    Just one road that leads to the Son.
    Tens of thousands of steps in stride
    Yet still no proof the old man has died.
    I take it all upon myself,
    The mistakes that I have made.
    From the slavers table once again
    The debt has been paid.
    Would I watch you die a thousand times?
    How would that be fair?
    To deny the strength of the very arms
    That take my lifeless body there?
    Yes Lord there is a road,
    I have trod it once or twice.
    But stood on the shore of the river of life
    Shunning your advice.
    So I took a chance and rolled the dice
    Wanting something real.
    After all, what could be worse
    Then the hell I always feel?
    If this is what I make my life
    Then I know what I must do.
    Only that which is left to die
    Can be submitted back to you.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
