I Met a Man Upon the Road

I met a man upon the road “Kill the Father,” is what he said. I could not do it, even then, because he was already dead. I met a man on the road “Take the Mother to your bed.” I could not do it, even then because she was already dead. I met a man on the road “Believe in me,” is what he said I could not do it, even then because he was already dead.
