Father and Son
“I have a good mind”
No, you don’t.
You bully, harass, and intimidate
But never with a sound mind.
You never have.
“Why do you just sit there?”
Though I sit,
My mind is tearing
across the universe,
To view its wonders.
“You’ll never learn”
You never teach,
Nor demonstrate clearly,
What you want is out of reach
Read the rest of the poem Show less
And my interest.
“Why do you answer back?”
Your tone, clearly,
Shouting, threatening,
Monkeys do what monkeys see.
I now see you in me-
And that’s why I hate myself.
