Best Deadbeat Poems

All these years at home, me and my momma alone
Daddy on the run, headed for the sun, he must of been..
Because I obviously wasn't his sunshine

Growing up wishing you were there when I had something to say
But now it's on pause, just like I am...

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER?!?!
 You said that on a million yesterdays!
 Look at the calendar, it’s laughing at you.
 Dude, are you SERIOUS?!
 You should dress up like a “Father” on Halloween!
 You can’t see through that old mask anymore.
 I must still look like...

I gave my neighbor a poinsettia plant as a gift
At Christmas two years ago, but now I am miffed!
His apartment is right next door to mine.
The gorgeous red blooms were just divine.

Now he still has it sitting on his patio in woe,
Dead of course… it...

I know a deadbeat system when I see one 
 Charging 25 cent in a public bathroom for napkins
When it should be free
 Sharing a public bathroom with men and women 
When the bathroom should be separated 
 A shelter with men and women in...

O Aphrodite,
Grecian fertility goddess
Matriarch idol of the womb,
your wise children love not reproducing
— Ancient Zion chant
heard in the echo chambers
of the caverns along the Aegean sea

Dwindling cries, dashed on the rocks
in luxurious maternity wards,
are slowly dying 
The first joyous tear burst of life ...
alas, increasingly...

WHAT ARE YOUR LIST OF PRIORITIES 
DO HAVE OTHER THINGS THAT TIES YOU UP
OR OTHER CHICKS THAT PUT YOU DOWN
BROTHER DONT YOU START TO CLOWN
CAUSE NOW YOURE MAKING ME FROW
IM SUPPOSE TO BE THE ONE TO WEAR A CROWN
NOW YOU DRINKING CROWN ROYAL
AND NO LOYALTY...

No rhythm or life within my head
Silent mind
darkness eyes
Still and quiet below God's skies
Thunderstorm
gentle rain
has quickly taken 30 years of wretched pain
No meter or 1/2 time
just a deadness all around this tragic aging mind
Feel free to end ME
there is nothing more for these pupils to...

Everywhere we had to move he knew exactly

How can you say I was never there for you!!
When you needed someone to be by you doing the Lord's Work,
did I not try to give you support when there was no one.
When your feet hurt did I not rub them, I cooked for you,...

{Dedicated to those who write you
Boring emails filled with excuses)

      ~~Their Soliloquy~~
Oh, I have so much to do today.
Read the paper, look for bargains,
Part my hair!
But to call or email a relative or friend?
Can't do that.

Well ~yes I can!
But I use only three...

They have love children who send them hate mail.
Such is the life of most deadbeat dads in jail....

Your age is not a piece 
Of this purple puzzle unique
To your lavished life 

You have cars that you give gas
But you ignore filling up little lad
Or little lady as a dad

So many fathers with less are bothered
Sacred fishing trips 
Creeks lakes in which take...
