There’s humanity in the trenches
Where men were at each other’s throat
When the dust settle
Wounds patched
Bodies buried
Prayers read
To love and to live
Subdued hate
(Lest We Forget)
I surround myself
With toxic people I know
That harm me than help
Because when I rise
I know that I have no fear
For I had survived
Daddy needs to change diapers too
So give a table in the men’s room
Don’t ask Daddy where’s Mommy
As If Daddy couldn’t take care of the baby
Maybe it’s a compliment to you
But Daddy just being a good Dad
Why can’t Daddy be nurturing?
Why can’t Daddy cry when his daughter is sick?
Why does Mommy take all the burden?
When raising a family is both’s effort
Why must people judge Daddy as if he doesn’t know
A thing or two what Mommy can do
Daddy just wants to be a Dad
To cherish parenting with no regret
Never a parent
In this whole wide world
Wants to see their child suffer
Plastic flowers
By the corner they sit
Petals arranged
Balanced
Manipulated by mortal hands
Priceless
Timeless
It’s worth faking
Like the flowers at the corner
It doesn’t matter if beauty is not real
So long it pleases the eyes of the beholder
Climbing a mountain
Careful with the steps taken
The chasm is deep
Across the sky
Dark clouds roll
A time for rest
As nature intends
Feel the cool breeze
Listen to the showers
Stay still silently
Enjoy nature’s gift
