A tribute to the souls

it pains me to refer to my Papa as a soul. He never was and will never be just a soul. He was more than a human being, he was a father. my father. he lived his life unsurpassed by any other politician there is. he gave his all. he died penniless, compared to those of today. i used to understand his principles. public service. yet, i am ashamed to admit, as years passed i started to drift away from it. i understood but i disagreed. because i saw the effects of giving too much of yourself to people, they will eat you alive. they will leave you with nothing, more of the emotional aspect rather than monetary. never will they dare look back to that old man who helped them. is it worthit? ARE THEY WORTHIT? NO!! they never were nor will they ever be. all he ever wanted from them were conversations, talk of the old times. yet, they rejected him and ridiculed him even. calling him a senile. again, ARE THEY WORTHIT? they never were and they never will be. it is quite ironic, it's been 7 years since Papa's death. you never heard anything from us. i know, a response a little too late. Yet, i want to talk. just a simple tribute to the wisdom of a man who gave his all yet never expected anything back. i understand but still i disagree.. i love you papa.
