My father is a man <br />He laughs with my mom <br />And I laugh too even though the joke wasn't meant for me <br /> <br />My father is a man <br />For he laid his hands on her <br />Beat her up with the thought 'this is love' <br />Taught by a woman <br />That a woman should never be beaten and he never <br /> <br />My father is man <br />Even though his energy is fading <br />He is still striving for his kids <br />My father is man not ashamed of his own tears <br />Not ashamed to cry <br /> <br />Raised by a woman that gave birth to my father <br />I shall be like my father and beyond<br /><br />Phineas Molale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-father-is-a-man/
