** Silent Fathers ** My society suffers from a deadly syndrome. A disease called Silent Fathers. Symptoms are harsh and bitter to swallow. The man who has so many unanswered questions, yet refuse to question The kind of man, that sweeps dirt under the carpet, too proud to spring clean his house, someone else will pick up after him Father that see, His children spiraling out of control yet does not see at all, The man who gets up early, to escape the noise and the smell of sadness lingering in his home. The Dad, that fails to display compassion towards his children, No hugs, No encouraging word or reprimanding where there is a need. My society, Produced no backbone men, The kind that sit in pubs, indulging in toxins which would ultimately damage vital organs and leave children fatherless Engaging in seductive conversations with a girl, young enough to be his daughter The kind that finds comfort on cyberspace, trying to fill a void his dad left The kind that would pay for clothes and shoes, just to keep his daughter from asking too many questions, The man who failed to teach his baby girl that her value and worth are not measured by a price tag or how many boys she can phase by her appearance, but rather by how she carries herself Portraying confidence in who she is What she believes in The man who shouts at his son, commanding him to grow up and be a man, yet all the boy does, is follow his fathers footsteps, Footsteps that paints a story so colorful, Be seen not heard, Show no emotion, believing that the essence of a man lies in his masculinity, how hard he can punch, how many skirts he can lift and how many deaf and blind kids he can conceive and not take responsibility for Silent fathers Are seen not heard Sadly that is what my society made to be true. Men you have the cure, Locked up in yourself A single phrase, Is the key to my sisters education, Baby girl we need to talk By doing that, My brother unlocks his potential, to lead his peers into a brighter future. Break the Silent Father Syndrome With a loud comeback, Be the roaring lion Speaking with authority Demanding respect Mending broken hearts and homes That will be the end of Confused children The end of Silent Fathers. #Poem by Deep-Flow on #Word
