Upset Father

He made up his mind not to complain any more.
Though is being told not to use cane anymore.
He`s very angry and feel so upset for his action.
This  makes the truth hard to ascertain anymore.
Telling lies is now part of his character.
Which has made honesty tough to obtain anymore.
He sways to and fro like a pendulum bob.
Yet,he`s tired of treating him with disdain anymore.
Even now  he plans to leave him alone,to rot!.
Not to reprimand or punish him again,anymore.
