    My Fore Fathers

    I'm a disgrace to all men
    The ones whom prevailed in the past
    Life long warriors, the ones
    that have passed
    Not even a glint in the eyes
    of that which was
    I hold all of the past heroes high above
    Working their fingers to the bone
    All the way to the very end
    In the end all of them knew they would win
    My definition of heroes doesn't come
    around that often
    We as people don't give them the
    credit that is due
    For the ones that died for us
    All of those that have passed, I hope
    that my life isn't through
    For all of those that last

    About 250,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different forefathers if you do the math back about 80 generations... roughly to time of Christ. Phenomenal isn't it? Nice work. Thanks!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
