An Adolescent's Pain
Adored sister, dry the warm tears
flowing from these gleaming eyes:
let them dazzle more than jewels:
they are dedicated to all sweet mothers
who live for their sons, unlikely fathers
whose role is to teach them harsh lessons!
Dad was a shameless womanizer, he demanded
faithfulness from mother and discipline from us;
he rarely smiled and hugged us in needy times:
we looked to mom for sweetness, and being loved
by her, transformed our gloomy moody into smiles,
replacing what he never offered, never shared!
Rise this boy from Hell, let him taste a bit of Heaven;
he has cried and begged for affection not punishment:
all the deep scars are permanent signs of negligent
attitude towards a feeble teen with an iron-will holding on
to whatever last strength he shows to boldly own,
he rebels to this injustice while sister consoles his heart!
Boys build up their character passed on by their fathers,
should they lack confidence: all turns to nothingness;
strong fathers are the example of desirable masculinity,
and whatever they accomplish is reflected in their son's
personality: the stronger the impact, the better the legacy!
An adolescent's pain must be seen as the gravest animosity
carried inside, unable to escape from its horrid imprisonment:
who will free him from the desolation, the grief and the misery?
Can a sister, a mother smother it with a glance of comprehension?
A loveless childhood leads to coldness, to extreme confinement:
love your boy more than yourself, give him purpose and ambition!
