Black Teen Father

Juvenile delinquency has exposed growth to the fiddle time fastens for maturity to face this compulsory wheedle. How long and straight forward is this short cut to the moon? Consequence has made later more favourable than soon. Just when a young mind gradually focuses on the right direction an extra eye becomes an umbrella and a new caption. A teenager, naïve enough to pull the plug now must be strong enough to take the drug. Responsibility has grown loud, increasing its tempo and taking the next step, there’s yet to be an info. Caring from the cared isn’t a banality, either is weight carried by soft hands a carnality. Dad and child in same stage of taking mama’s snuff if there’s something to offer, for now it isn’t much stuff. Whatever is the story, a baby still causes the blush subsequent issues will matter not and be flushed. On the very important task ahead, only cowards vilipend it is more than a consolation that a good dad is a legend. Even some of those older still hold strengths so penetrable thus, age shouldn’t stop the creation of a mark so traceable.

Nicely done, Funom, a great job describing innocents lost. Such a sad story, but that is reality. The future now is to take care of a child and not have any enjoyable time of growing up. Hugs Eve ~`*
