What kind of a father are you?
When you bring forth children into this wicked world, lie in
your lazy chair, fold your arms and watch them to suffer.
What kind of a father are you?
After all these expect them to pay you homage when they have
become great people in the world.
What kind of a father are you?
When all you know is to make them work as servants and not
listen to their problems and lead them on their right path.
What kind of a father are you?
If not for anything cannot take them on a common picnic.
What kind of a father do I think of when I’m down on my bed
and close my eyes?
Is it the one who comforts me when I’m sad or the one who
watches me to suffer?
What kind of a father are you?
When all you do is to think about your fortune and not your
family.
We do not care for your riches and wealth.
All we need is your love and protection more than the ones
we get from the dog at the backyard.
All we need is the sense of belonging and shoulders to cry
on.
We come from school and there is no man to hug and welcome
us not to talk of even to ask how our day went.
We do not want to be only mummy’s children, we want to be
daddy’s children too.
We want to spend more time with you but you are caught up in
the middle of family and business.
Suddenly, you choose business over us.
