Our fathers toil with hands and heart To make our lives complete. They quietly brave the winter cold, Endure the summer heat. Our fathers’ lives are busy, but There’s always time for us.

I hope you said your prayer tonight, Even though god cannot help you now. Ive been under here for sometime, Waiting for you to fall asleep. Like a trapped rabbit in a hole, Ill smoke you out, And eat you whole. Your life is in my grasp. As blood pours from my mouth, Ill sit […]
