Father

He Walked Around The House
Feeling Less Then A Man
 Because He Got His Girl Pregnant
There Were No More Chance
 
He Walked Around Mad About Big Things And Small
Because The Girl That Was Carrying His Seed
Didn’t Want It At All!!
 
She Tried So Many Methods Of Giving It Away
Her Family Was Poor So Was His
But He Wanted To MAN UP And Support His Kid
 
The Girl Now Didn’t Want Nothing 
To Do With Him,
So She Tried Her Best To Get Through To Him
But Lies Was Told
And So Many Secrets Was Held
 
The Mother Is Now Full Turn
And She Begin To Get Sick As Hell
Its Not Effecting The Baby
Which He Is Now External
The Sickness Is Within The Mother Internal
 
She Confesses To The Male

"You Are Not The Father" 
As She Lay In The Bed
Took Her Last Breathe
And Smile To Herself
 
Because That Day That Boy
Grew Up, He Not ONLY Became A MAN, He Also Became A Father
To A Fatherless And Motherless Child!!!
