Modern Day Premetheus


A father of three, trying to do the right thing
Providing for his kids, despite the difficulty
He wants to bring joy and light into their lives
But what he receives in return is rage and rebuke

The surounding parents do not understand him
They cannot comprehend how he handles his kids
When all he does is put them first, above all else
Prays for their dreams and wishes to come true

But no reward will come for him
Liver cancer takes over all he ever was
He is punished for simply doing the right thing
His life with his children is quickly vanishing

He must suffer each and every day
Was all he did worth this price he must pay?
Once a father of three, trying to do the right thing
Is now just a felon, serving time for innocence
