You only know his name
You only know the story
To you, he’s just a piece of news
A headline to peruse
You only know his name
You barter with his trauma
My tears are father’s fears
But yours appear as TV drama
Hats off, you’re giving quite a show
You only know his name
You only know his name
Why not the man who broke him?
Is his fence too high to get past, or…
Do you not know what you would ask, or…
Is it that you think my son’s to blame?
You only know his name
Elijah!
Exempt from being a child
I tried to shelter him from seeing this vile reality
Soon, I’ll have to send him for miles
And pray he makes it back home
Take your camera and your microphone and walk away
I don’t have it in me!
I can’t do this-
Not today!
Yes, I’m finally angry
Is that what you want me to say?
Ahh….
I’m glad that he’s okay
I pray his arm gets better
Soon, you’ll forget his name
But he’ll always remember
