Dead Words

he was a creature unlike any before
his name was Callused Andrew and he went there to perform
for the first time
in seven years
since he had gone away

he was born on the first and went out on the last
his mother told him “son you’ve got to run from your past
and if you don’t
you’ll have no chance
to be the man you are
you’re only 17 so far

he ran through the bush made all his own paths
he started writing verses when he found a guitar in the trash
he played away
in all the states
for the county fair
at only 21 years

they all loved him he made money then
traveled the world and with his troubled hands
he played a song
his last to date 
it brought me to tears
in all my 26 years
