YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED A FATHER!

in poetry •  7 years ago 

When men father children
then decide they’ve had enough
and leave to find their fortunes
while their children are scared and scruff.

Who will stay to find solutions
to the mounting sense of dread
of young children who are baffled
and are crying and are sad?

What kind of father is a man
who lives without remorse
of the pain he causes children
with his callousness of force?

What lessons does a father
teach to prime his only son
if he sets to hurt with purpose
and inflict harm on his own?

What examples do young girls
grasp from watching the only man
who is said to be their savior
if their mother he sets to maim?

What is in the message
of a man who lashes out
on his woman and her children
to abandon them without?

Who had given men the power
to bleed and cripple and extort
and to cause such wrenching grief
to the families that they abort?

Who will stay to clean the mess
and assure that sons abound,
don’t repeat their fathers’ follies
when their turn comes around?

Hmmmmmm deep and insightful. No child deserves to go through that pain. Only a few come out strong and Better.

Runaway fathers and absentee fathers. These days, they are sometimes miles and countries away in the name of work and they tend to forget that it took both him and her to make that baby. How then can he (baby) grow well with only her tending.

Some are around but their job makes them see their kids just weekends and thats after they wake up from long naps or come back from hanging with friends.

Patenting is not just meeting their financial needs. Don't wait till your children ask you aside from paying my school fees, housing me and clothing me, what bond do we share.

I see some kids, from very humble states and families. And if you see the respect and loyalty and love they ooze out to their parents, am amazed. Go to poor fathers, the sensible ones and see how they treasure their kids. Parenting is not materialism, let's get our priorities right and stop chasing after what we think they need.

i really like children

I so much love this your poem, it makes sense a lot and straight forward.
