Read between the lines of a long lost story of dying dreams and how a young man could lift himself up

From the ground

Stretching the limits of historical tyranny

Of doing things differently

It was something out of an old epic

That he found the entire course of human evolution

In his core

In his arms, a soft embrace,

His new sword was drawn

His name on his back

And his children his true defense

The winning team of strength

The dreaded cacophony of his trampled holiday tree youth, crushed presents and no explanation but anger

He chooses to keep the trees lined up

He chooses a better story

To be a real man, a father with strength

And love.
