My heart broke as I listened to Chuck’s story
His childhood with his father was the stuff of tragedies
He recounted being beaten frequently, often over the smallest of things
It made him a hard man he admitted honestly, but later in life he’d bleed all that residual pain into poetry
Seems that was the best way he knew to set it free
