Strictly For Fathers. Others Keep Off. By David Daniel by engrtee(f): 7:00pm On Nov 06, 2017 |
This one goes out to my father who didn't find it fit
to tell me how many women he dated or slept with
before he finally met my mother. This goes out to
fathers who think we should be better than them but
don't think we need to learn from their mistakes.
This goes out to fathers who locks us up and whip
us when they see us in the company of girls. This
goes out to fathers who suddenly became pope
when they became parents. This goes out to the
father who curses us and doubt our paternity cause
we're just a little different from them. This goes out
to fathers who sees their children as aliens and not
humans. This goes out to fathers who sees us as
disappointments cause we failed to replicate their
own benchmark of academic excellence. This goes
out to fathers who asked us to fetch them water
whenever a sex scene came up on the TV screen.
This goes out to fathers who never bought us
contraceptives or showed us how to use it and then
frown at teenage parenting and harbour us under
their roofs negligent of how many fetus we've
aborted as a result of their hoard information. To
every father in the world, your responsibility doesn't
end in sending us to school and upon our
graduation we get rich, marry and produce children
we'd raise violently the same way you raised us.
How many parents know about our careers and
support us diligently without asking us to be
lawyers, doctors, pilots and engineers or just
anything that is regularly professional as pioneers?
To our mothers who can't speak up or support us
for fear of losing their husbands to women outside
we blame you not. To our mothers who live like
slaves to please our fathers and maintain their
recommendations, we understand duly with you. To
our mothers who didn't see the need to establish
themselves first before going into marriage, we just
learnt from your mistakes. Dear African parents, we
love you amidst your defects and irrefutable
incompatibility with your children but you're exactly
who I don't ever wanna grow up to be. We love you
but you taught us to grow up and raise children with
rods and sticks. Violence only begets violence.
Maybe we would have done better if we had a
glimpse of your ups and down. Dear parents, you
all are not saints. It's high time you see us as
friends and not slaves from your bosom. You owe
us respect. You owe us the love. You owe us the
counsel. You owe us the strength when we can't do
it on our own. We're tired of living under your
shadows and trying to prove ourselves to you.
