The Preacher's Son

 

 

The preacher’s son I’ll tell you a story about a boy,Who grew up to be a man,Carried a burden that weighted close to a ton,Because he was the preacher’s son I apologize, but I’ve started wrong,And now you’re all misinformed,You see this poem isn’t a happy one,The preacher’s son gets harmed in this poem. My dear father abused his wife,I witnessed this several timesIn his defense she cheated on him,But abusiveness is still a crime Oh the pain, the agony,Damn this fucking divorce!For 18 years now I can’t figure out,Why my Dad still has no remorse Both of them walk through life naive,They know not what they’ve doneA life filled with pain and miseryIs the life of the Preacher’s Son!
