"Fathers" Like You
by
Lisa Bartley-Lacey
"fathers" like you
make angry sons
who cry in shadows
hide from Light
you make living life
a burden
with no sense of
wrong from right
"fathers" like you
make mothers falter
in attempts
at over-time
cause she can never
be the other
and they hate her
for your crime
"fathers" like you
make lonely daughters
who long for love
a steady hand
sacrificing worthiness
for any worthless
smiling
"man"
"fathers" like you
make angry sons
who fight for manhood
all alone
you make your boys
a legacy
to curse you
when you're gone
