Mother Knows

He was a burden of a boy, a menace of a man
Wasting youth burning grands,
Trouble only followed
Because he sought after sin
He shut everyone close out
Who loved and would let him in,
He made deals with demons
To meet with the devil
Drugged and physically loved every evening
Basking in his revel.
Unfortunately fun was more than life
He borrowed from the mob and paid blood for their price
Ah living dead man
Always on the run
Death dealers lurk on all corners
Catch up and introduce him to the gun,
In dark alley ways he lays
Thrown away waste disposed
Found, debt paid
With a bullet to the skull.
She was ageless in wisdom
Surrounded by love
With all the days distraction
Not even heaven above
Could make her forget these feelings
That have risen and dawned
She holds all her babies close
Accept the one who's gone wrong,
Hurting deep inside
As if pieces of her heart just died
She slams head in hands and cries
Mother's natural tuition comes to her as surprise
She knows,
Fear grows,
Let these killing emotions be a lie
But tears can't help to flood the eyes
With a ring all at once beautiful life hits an ugly wall,
"Mother!", speaks daughter you have a phone call.
