SOUL OF SOFI' PRESENTS: Father’s Day

Father’s Day

In the agony of my soul, I hold

the heart of a champion,

clinging to my confidence

as with Sampson,

not understanding where and why

his strength went cold;

not comprehending

why his try and try again

became imperfect and failed

when needed the most.

Although heeding direction,

my fatherly protection couldn’t suffice.

The Agony of Defeat’s selection

chose us not them,

carving a slice

from the champion’s bosom,

leaving his underbelly exposed,

and his pride for me to console.
