Do not father me
If fathering means
Procreation without provision
If your love means
Affectation without affection
Do not father me
Do not father me
If discipline means
Detention without attention
If education means
Scolding without schooling
Do not father me
Do not father me
If alcohol turns daily breakfast
And your nostril an exhaust pipe
If your hands are drumsticks
And my mother, the drum
Do not father me
Do not father me
If fathering means
Mentoring to loot
If loyalty means obedient to one
And disobedience to all
Do not father me
Do not father me
If public funds swindles
Into your private account
If your church turns
bank of tithes
Do not father me
