SueKay: Great (11/10/04)

I told my dad yesterday,
I told him he was a grampa
of an angel in the heavens
Had I not been a coward
Had I not sent Urias to the front lines
To get rid of the evidence
A mafia hit for three bones
with the comfort of unconsciousness for a couple more
no need for a hole in the desert
and no one will prosecute
A decision made quickly
So I could go on with my life
a life with no babysitting issues
a life with no dirty diapers
I kept my freedom at a high cost
as entire generations vanished
with the ultimate betrayal
to the Father of All
who carefully knit a baby
in my womb to be protected
to only have it ripped out
for the desperate hope
of a perfect façade
I told my dad my fears
of the price still to pay
Like David I sob for mercy
for the life of my firstborn
I told my dad yesterday
to stop crying and give thanks
as blood can only be cleaned by blood
and the stains on my hands
have been washed away
with the blood of another first born
