Oh Daddy

Oh Daddy, please don’t hit! I’ll be quiet while you watch your game You forget to unclench your fist And swear at me not knowing my name Oh Daddy, how you hated Your words cut like jagged glass Even when you weren’t drinking We’d get the leather sash Oh Daddy, I hear you’re sick You should confess it all But you go on denying what you’ve done Even though it’s too late to take the fall Oh Daddy, now that you’re dying You still won’t face the truth That you are an evil, demented man And your kids’ sufferings are the proof Oh Daddy, look you’re dead You left countless victims behind My eulogy for you is simple: “The world doesn’t need any more of his kind”
