About a successful renowned
footballer
Who's home life was thus
Father beat him on every occasion
His mother told him she wished
he was never born
So he played out at school
by means of ill discipline
Yet went on to become and
make a success of himself
And yet i bet he would give
up every inch of his success
Every goal scored , medal won
and International appearance
For his mother to tell him
she loved him
Or his father not to raise his
hand to him
And to show him any form of
affection at all
Because success to him
Is not was it is to us
And should have been to him
And why i just seen him
Crying in his old school teachers
arm's
Who he cherishes so much
Terrible thing
WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT
BUT YOU END UP PERPETUATING IT
BECAUSE IT'S ALL YOU KNOW
