Teacher Kevin Poems Poet Free verse

I Have To Know That

I have no dad and I have to know that,
He did not leave wealth behind
But helpless kids
And a mom
Really?
Yes He did, and I have to know that.

I have a life to fund with my slim slip
Compulsory bills to always pay
Basic needs to also fund
A large family to aid
Plus own growth
Surely?
Yes I do, and I have to know that.

Born and raised deep in the humble village
No early exposure to urban life
No idea for corporate world
Little financial literacy
No connections
or deals
really?
Absolutely not, and I surely have to know that

Now I am older, well grown, learned and highly adored,
A reputable profession with meagre income
Invited guest in most fund raisings
Deemed poverty chain-breaker
But feeble financially
Surely?
Imagine, and no doubt at all, I have to know that.

Dad did not show me how to get myself a wife.
Neither did he teach my how to seduce
And that girls also need money
Now I'm a stranded single
And broke too
Really?
For sure, and I have to know that.

There is too much of a cumber over my shoulders.
A bigger head and big body over feeble feet
Like an elephant standing of pigs legs
Or a lorry on bicycle's wheels
I'm I really stable?
Surely?
No I'm not, and I have to know that.
