A Word To... A bad Father

Is father the man we all adore?

I don't think so. So please, don't let us all pretend as if the father is so important, the always hardworking man who provides for every need of his wife and children and gives his very best.

Indeed he is just a man, human but so are moms. Let's face it there are too many abandoned, abused and molested children. Children who have to call such a person dad. Imagine saying 'father' to someone who means nothing to you, who hates, molests or abuses you. How does it feel if the monster underneath the bed is Dad?

Father can be a person who never played a role or harmed a child and that child will suffer from it till the end of his/her life.
Shouldn't the word father be reserved for a man who really l cares? Even without the 'desired' bloodline or something in common, it is possible to create a bond.

Let us not pretend the average family contains a father, mother plus children. Today's, 2024 average family is more likely a single parent carrying all responsibilities on their shoulders.

Super Dad?

How to be a bad father?
If people ask me I refer to you
The charming person you pretend to be
It's a performance you give
You are fake, only take
Never gave or cared
You are the man of the empty promises.

Anyone who falls for your tricks
Is stupid enough to trust
Willing to give to and kiss you
Discovers all too soon
You are the opposite of Prince Charming
A loser who has nothing to offer
All you are is a scam, a coldhearted frog
So please, stop pretending.

Father's day
Another wishlist to fulfil?
Not for me.
That last time you stopped by
It's over 30 years ago
Give me a break dad
You don't deserve to be called this way

Were you ever around
Or only enjoying the bright side of life
Hunting, spending, instead of working,
Chasing after
Hiding behind lame excuses
And underneath women's skirts?

I could wish you a great Father's Day
If you only wouldn't have said:
Children are a big mistake
But it doesn't matter since you are dead.

RIP from one out of six
(or are there more?)
