THAT ONE FIRST HIT
The inception
Of fatherless storms 
One stood alone
On top the waves
And his name was

Wings Detached

Alone in this world;
Refuse to accept what is;
My chest feels heavy.
Reminded through others lives,
I'll always be; fatherless.

Savage

I have no pledges just
indulgences.

I live in fatherless harmony,
a puppet with no strings.

a laughing kiss created in danger.
and abuse

fatherless husband
loins aching for progeny 
empty wombs await seeding
childless mothers cry
opening soft pocket sighs
stoking the steel thorns rising

Fatherless

Forgotten Christmas cards
or missed birthday cake
was it some thing you noticed,
or some thing you wish you had?

An empty sea shell
forgotten dreams 
a troubled life
because the man who left was dad.
Form: Ballad


Tomorrow, Today

Keeping emotion inside
   the words go mute

Casting decision aside
  each choice less acute

New feelings unbirthed
  words fatherless stray

The future untold
  —tomorrow, today

Premium Member Fatherless Children

I don’t think Mrs. Claus is at all happy When some little children have no pappy They are so hungry at night After they turn out the light It's so hard for them to take a nappy.

Fatherless and Alone

With every cold defeat 
  of the human spirit

The answers move deeper 
  within the polar arc

Victim to its wanton roaming 
  and endless chill 

Questions left to wander, 
 —fatherless and alone

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2013)

A collaboration poem, Deb and Mark

A fatherless boy with a motherless son, wrote stories of nature to please everyone.

Stories from the meadow, stories from the sea, native son of Sandwich, we come to honor thee.

Five generations, of his family tree, native son of Sandwich, we come to honor thee.

Wretched Grief

When the day of tears is done,
The heart aches a little bit less;
Mother missed by the only son. 

When the day of tears is done,
His heavy grief again begun;
He lost a mother and also fatherless.

When the day of tears is done,
The heart aches a little bit less.

Deserted Children

Parents do not desert your children,
If you desert your children then you do not understand the essence of child bearing.
Children should not be motherless or fatherless!
Help your children to acquire knowledge and skills to be beneficial to society and nation.

You Should

Have you been to Jesus in Prayer today?
and asked him to bless you each step of the way
To bless the Fatherless and the poor widows;too
and that he would save the lost ,just like he did for you
there is no better way to start your day
than Praying and helping others along the way

Violence

VIOLENCE

Eye wrinkle it began 
To begat disparage
And yet Tysoning 
Shoot again begotten

Hemorrhage is brings 
Shelling and uphill
We export oil
Yet importing mortars

Listen to the melancholy
Of motherless mothers
That of fatherless children
And of groaning men

If we must mêlée
Let’s fight for peace

wily winner

simple sinner

bold beggar

timid twister

mini monster

fatherless father

hand-less helper

hot pulsating radical
radioactive tropical pepper

who else could've
done it better

under these conditions
on the surface facing bad weather

I soar above it all
because my pen is a falcon feather

Premium Member Weep For the Innocent

Weep
for the
innocent
ones who were slain
in the name of hate. Weep for the children
left fatherless, the spouse left without a
mate, a parent
whose child is
no more.
Then
weep
for this
country and
pray that we come
together, without prejudice, to heal.

Devour the Spirit

Devour the spirit and souls
of the poor, fatherless children
with no clean water nor food
to fill the bloated bellies.
Families unlearned, desolate
spiritually beaten. Unable to provide for
their young. Villages living in sorrow of their
dead babies, dead husbands and raped bodies 
and spirits. 
Who will help their misery?

The Father of My Thoughts Did Not Recognize Me

When I was born,
there was no one to hold my mind.
Only a faded sky and a mother
trembling above a forgotten prayer.
My thought was born fatherless.
And I raised it alone,
with hands dirty from paramedics and alphabet.
I wrote before I spoke.
I spoke before I was heard.
And still I search
in all the words I never dared to write.

Phones, wireless.
Cooking, fireless.
Cars, keyless.
Food, fatless.
Tires, tubeless.
Youth, jobless.
Leaders, shameless.
Relationships, meaningless.
Attitudes, careless.
Babies, fatherless.
Feelings, heartless.
Children, manner less.
We are speechless.
Government is clueless.
Politicians are worthless,
and I am scared ****less.

Social Behavior

A man ask a coworker for a dollar so he gave it to him

The next day he ask him for his daughter as a bride

And robbed him of his Pride

Later left the child for fatherless and hide the car behind

A hide way under a bridge

After all those year you wonder what the grandpa had to say

When he later he had to go back across the boarder.

New Years Mirror

In the empty house 
of snow,
though, interred a blade of grass
when I was searching one
midnight flame

in frozen night, on
parting lips of darkness.
The art of delusion
churns the sea for an untitled
arsenic,of a blue throat.

I am dynasty and I am 
the king of million whites.
Fatherless sins
in rusted boots
were having a last laugh.

Anti-viral, selective shaped,
and thus, detection, these escaped.
Yet much oppressed, this teeming mass,
freely assembled, given pass.
Wearing virtue on their sleeve,
industry scarce, ‘cept when they grieve.
Lashing, trashing, loud and wild,
fatherless, a rash, spoiled child.

Premium Member Fatherless

When a household is fatherless, desperation drips from weathered eaves.
The children tend to grow wild as weeds. 
Slipping from rambunctious into mischievous.
People dismiss it as a phase to be outgrown in time.
But it often cascades into crime after crime.

They do a little bit of time after time.
Years wiggling by into the bin of wasted lives.

My country is much like a fatherless household.

Look What They Done To the World

There's a war going on each day
Is no one safe ?
You better pray
Make a move
Or run away

Listen to your radio
Or watch the news on mothers link
Is there no one free ?
Is it better to be you 
Or would you rather be me 

Fools rule the world 
Life means nothing to you !
A pot of gold is all you wish to hold
Try a fatherless child
The mothers gone wild
As she puts her man in the ground .
