An angry pre-teen's message to his player dad
Hey! Mister!

Yo!

I wrote this piece for ya!



You deceived my ma

You said sweet-nothings to her

You promised her a bed of stars and velvety night gowns

You said she was your heart

You drank from her springs of euphoria

Sucked from her mountains of passion

Then you dumped her!



You brought me into this cruelty together, you and ma

But you're not here with her

You denied me, you shamed her!

You took away her spark

Made her an arctic winter river

Stiff, Cold and Sad



Hey!

Today, I swallow saddened milk from ma's bossom

Today, my face is wet from her tear drops

Today, you're the hottest player in caps

Today, you're all smiles

But the table turns on the morrow!



Tomorrow, the future

Tomorrow, when I become a lawyer, a doctor,

Or whatever

Tomorrow, when you become a weary soldier

A fading star

Tomorrow, when I become a husband

Tomorrow, when ma becomes a grandma

Dad!

Tomorrow, when you become lonely and sad

Tomorrow, when ma's all smiles



Tomorrow, ah! Happy tomorrow.



You're going to wish you stayed with us

Nights of silent tears

As we laugh the last laughs

Nights of regret

Nights you wait for death!!



But before tomorrow

I wish you the best...

Peace
