    Cumbersome

     Cumbersome

    With the weight of the world upon his shoulders, he walks alone
    He walks the stone cobbled streets beneath the lamps haloed
    Mentored learning was his beginning
    He walks unheralded and conspicuously aloof 
    Hereto he searched the undaunted truth 
    Turned down his collar rolled up his sleeves
    Strolled around kicking the leaves
    Down near the grocer's store was the scene 
    Where he lost his heart, Adeline
    Hereto the lot around the corner lies  
    Chiseled visions adhere to his mind's eye 
    Sirens and the medics searing his mind, cannot flee today
    The blood, the tourniquet, the needle hanging from the vein; lives disarray 
    She was just barely seventeen, the world beckoning
    No time now would be her time for a reckoning
    White Horse lost another rider 
    The Drug Lord lost another to the reaper 
    Etched deep within his soul, she becomes his permanent griever
    His tormenting visions will always see her
    Demons dwell,  acts burns severe taunting  
    Visions of hell on earth an embedded haunting 
    Unbinds time, his minds heart filled lives lies  
    This horrid crime repetitiously mounts
    As its declared, tantamount
    Unbeknownst, Adeline was his daughter
    Oh, Oh, Oh, poor Father

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
