The Tyrant Father
Nothing is ever good enough for him.
Bully, big bully who
Makes ammo out of the innocuous...
Battles his Son
Acting out of his own woundedness
The ongoing war he must fight;
Those demons that just won't leave.
But Tyrant-as-Victim
is also too convenient a tale to tell
So much sympathy we can muster
"Everyone has a Story"
And so what? Tyrant may be forgiven, yet
Tyrant must still be held accountable for Tyranny
Even if this means: The Tyrant must lose his Son
