Abe Or Roy Poem by ROGEL FRANCIS SORIOSO

Abe Or Roy



Abraham Lincoln was quite a disciplined and reserved man
While Rogelio Sorioso abused himself in any way he can
Abraham became a President and a successful leader
While Rogelio was only a smoker, drinker and a gambler
Abraham also fought to free others for the sake of freedom
While Rogelio kept the company of women to cure his boredom
I myself admired Abraham Lincoln as a role model to us all
While Rogelio Sorioso only reminded me of feeling so small
The two men have nothing in particular besides the common exception
Of the bond of Love between a father and his son that has no expiration
Abraham was destined for greatness among his common peers
While Rogelio will only be known for drinking whiskey and beers
While Abraham was busy running his country and his nation
Rogelio was gambling and drinking with some fornication
Rogelio could never be as great as Abraham in achievement
But they will always be one in spirit as a single embodiment
Abraham was a remarkable leader while Rogelio is simply a slacker
But both men played their role accordingly in a certain manner
You cannot blame Rogelio for being an irresponsible father and dad
If only smoking, drinking and gambling are the things that made him glad
I still salute you Rogelio for bringing forth a son just like me
For no one knows your true identity as powerful as you can be
I haven't thanked you enough for all the simple effort of making me smile
Oh my dearest Abraham I haven't heard or seen your presence in a while
So today while remembering Abraham I will also recall Rogelio as the name
As the one true being who stood fervently by my side when no one else came
May Abraham or Rogelio find a common ground in expressing this special day
Just like the favorite song you always used to sing which is 'I did it my way'
R.F.S.
