Papa's Boy (original poetry)

voices of you like yesterday stuck in my mind-
a stir of echoes; memories most admired-
Bob Marley, Earth Wind & Fire you; been seasons-
since you became the earth, wind, and the fire

now the harsh wind blows bitter paralyzing
unrelenting truth; changing of the tides
ephemeral footprints in the sand i trace
to effect the morrow; stem the demise

of the eternal flame burnt in the name
of the father; conferred upon the son
the esteemed role of the protagonist
in the story of your duration

which is the sustenance of the epitome
of unrivaled character; breadth of niles
brilliance in your intelligent speak easys
sacrifices you made in your furious styles

and sometimes it seems I live
so much more for you than for me
not for the steam from out under the pot
but because you so deserved your dreams

Papa's Boy, made man of you
bred steeled against a societal harm
i soar by your insignia on my chest
and the protection in your coat of arms

so now in my mind lies the construct
pattern the archetype to delicacy
because in my veins flows the blueprint
to succeed my unborn legacy

and for all that you did, and for what remains
together for us to be done
and for the existence of which you had breathed for me
i honor the father with twenty one guns
