The Boy
 
The newspapers come late, again
My son waits, through the storm
 
So many count on him
The readers, his customers can't see
The driver is oblivious
Drop the News off at the right place this time
Ignorance, and stupidity,prevails
Meanwhile, the boy waits in the the ice
No BS
 
 
Why is he challenged so
Bring the effing papers
The neighbors do not see
His power, and strength
A hero yet to be
 
High School
Drama, and Volleyball
I see it all
 
Military training
Fitness, and order
 
If you only could  know this young man
My hero
 
Yours too
One day
The books will be opened
Then you will see
My little paper route boy
And the Army Infantry
 
Heros abound
In your neighborhood
 
Radix watches
And sees, more than mostI
It seems so.

I once knew a man that once was a paper boy
he retired as a Captain in the Marines
he served his nation in Da Nang.

He lost his soul
in that hell hole.

I once knew a broken man
that was once a paper boy.
