Poems

From Counterfeit Freedom by Roland F. Stoecker Jr (author's profile)

Transcription

-Little Boy Blue Sees Red-
Mother's last breath-
As you slowly die
Selfishly you deny us
The decency of mutual forgiveness
As in life and in your death
I'll never feel good enough to be your son
So I'll be stuck
With a chest full of disgrace.
RFS 6/21/14

-Son-
As my Dad lay dying in a hospital bed my
Son brought his grandpa a handfull of baseball cards. It is one of my most
favorite memories I have of my son even
though I was not there to see that moment. 3/3/13

-Reality Sucks-
I took a nap today
and dreamt about my missing family
I don't feel so lonely
RFS 8/20/12

-Expose-
Every poem
about my fathers failures
reminds me of my own
RFS 5/23/13
