A Shame......
Its a shame....
there are alot of single mothers
bigger shame...
most of them are black
its like being a father
is poison
for black skin
too few of us have found the antedote
its said locking eyes with a new born at birth
is the glue bonds for life are made of
if only he were present at the birth
rather than planting the sibling
in the mother's sister
where is your respect
thrown on the floor
like the rest of your garments
still wearing a thick coat of guilt
too heavy to ignore
look in the mirror
do you see a man?
Think about it....
