His name is Frank.. his family isn't rich, but they do allright,
His life changes completely.. after the events tonight,
They were a small family, in a small town living happily,
but, this story's a tragedy, and it doesn't last.. sadly,
---------------
Earlier that day, when Frank was studying in class,
He didn't have a care in the world, except to pass,
He wasn't a genius, but he studied hard for grades,
No one was surprised that his report card was A's,
His family lived well, he had time to focus on school,
It kept him busy.. work before play was a household rule,
Frank stayed late in class.. He had needed help in Math,
He walked home.. and our story's what happened after that.
He neared the door, and heard something chilling,
Frank never heard this before.. his parent were yelling,
Dad lost his job.. Mom didn't know how to react,
"Don't worry" Dad said, "Honey, you need to relax,"
"I can get work, I didn't waste 4 years in college,"
"I can't do anything tonight, anyway, and I'm really exhausted,"
The next day, Dad went out to the city, looking for work,
Came home at noon.. "Well, I got a job" he said with a smirk,
"I'm making 10 bucks an hour at the Mill, running a saw,"
Mom looked upset.. "10 bucks an hour, thats nothing at all,"
"How can i feed the family, when that barely covers rent,"
"We cant even make it with help my Mother can send"
Two weeks later.. It was just too much for Mom to bear,
She just left.. Left my Dad and I, and she didn't even care,
---------------
Frank worked his way through college, vowing to live better,
He was ambitious, Frank and his Dad scraped through life together,
Now he had his own family, his own problems, but nothing to bad,
But History repeats it's self.. his fate was 'almost' just like his Dads'
---------------
His wife took the kids.. Left him an empty and lonely house,
She did take the furniture, though, and left him with only a couch,
Now Frank was a proud man.. This was something he couldn't stand,
It was all legal, though.. So he had to take matters into his own hands,
It's a sad day, when a man will not accept his Dad's fate,
This was no exception.. And Frank reacted in a bad way,
He thought about taking his life, why deal with the pressure,
With nothing at all.. Frank thought death had to be better,
But being a proud man, he couldn't stand to let himself lose,
Frank would lose his life, kids, everything else, all in one move..
He thought about killing her, he could make it simple and quick,
Maybe it wasn't a good thing.. that he remembered the kids,
What will they do without their Mom.. How will they live,
And his solution was something that no one could ever forgive,
He woke up Monday morning.. His first day of unemployment,
No one knew it.. But he was late for a major appointment,
He had to tell his kids goodbye.. And they him, one last time,
Just in time.. the rest of the family walks out the door in line,
He takes off his coat.. His wife screams madly for help,
But poor Frank.. had 50 pounds of explosives strapped to his belt,
---------------
The neighborhood cleared.. Not everyday they hear an eplosion,
It was gruesome sight.. But they couldn't move like they were frozen,
Funerals were held.. Relatives came.. but thsta where the tragedy ends,
It may be sick.. But Frank got his wish.. They were a family again,
