Father's Day

Father’s Day is like a day of mourning A day of the dead Where young men who committed suicide Come out of the graves to be with their fathers I knew a young man who father did not raise him His mother tried her best The best schools Her son was going to be a doctor But for him it was not enough No matter what she did for him No matter how hard she tried He wanted his father When his father killed himself From the convenience of drinking himself to death No one could console the son Not even me The son took his own life The son wanted to be with his father Father’s Day is like a day of mourning A day of the dead Where young men who committed suicide Come out of the graves to be with their fathers
