By shomi

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

His father didn’t drink much.He didn’t do much of anythingexcept buy a gun, have a sonand die young.The son rode thirteen mileson a Friday nightto prove he was born lucky,just made that way.The harvest moon was shining brightbut what did he care.Not about witches.He had his riches in karmaand his father’s death.
