POEM

PARENTAL GUIDANCE

 

I came to you as a blessing

But yet, you show me no discretion

your only motive was to satisfy your sex craving

unfortunately mistakes are made

 

what follows satisfaction? responsibility

since daddy died, I cried a trail of tears

your eyes didn't seem to water

in the after years

 

If human kind didn't reprimand

in trying to understand you

You would have grown horns in front of my eyes

and be immortalized as Satan

 

You brought me life through your womb

Gave me every piece of my physical being

Neglected my intelligence and made stars of the

Older siblings, my conquest is that of your respect

 

God blessed you with a son, a son with great understanding

of his atmosphere,

You took it into disbelief

and perished the thought.

 

Nothing to call a family

Because I was one with the streets

The ghetto raised me and the streets gave me knowledge

Paper and pen gave me my talent

 

So what good is parental guidance?
