A Tribute To My Father
A Tribute To My Father
My hero, my father I am in your debt
A person like you, is very hard to forget.
Through the good times and bad
Your protection and support I ever had.
To be a man like you, is my aim
But the slut time played the bloody game.
Until 1999, life was supreme and sublime
May 5th was the date they did the crime.
My hero was a man so handsome
Unfortunately, he was kidnapped for a ransom.
Quite abruptly, the life-line started rifting
Then, I was cherishing my bitterest fifteen.
I was not ready to bid goodbye
Years from now, I know I will cry.
I was forced to see things take life
It's like hurting heart with a knife.
Stagnating in a pond, my life is like a hell
Evincing the agony you suffered in the terrorist-cell.
I love you BABA, as you would see
Missing you Daddy, woe is me.
Time flies and already I am thirty-two
Look! Daddy, I learnt the things that you loved to do.
Discrimination! Discrimination! as you all would say
But in my brooklet flows bloody sweat of the 5th May.
Fate blew a gust of despair
Now, I ask you, "Oh God! Is this fair?"
When I tried to throttle my cries
All I envisaged, were tears in my Papa's eyes.
Paroxysm of anger and anguish that I only had
Forgive me, I couldn't save you, sorry Dad.
Father like You is truly rare
You will always be in my prayer.
