Conversation with Dad part 2: Father's Consent
(Son): You think you kill me with your scoff
But “Dadda” it’s what I live off
I struck a match, career blast-off!
My life needs no consent
(Dad): You say this boy and you have guts
It’s either that, or you’re just nuts!
You’re just so lost, and you’ll get cuts
You don’t have the talent
(Son): I’m a fetus of performance
And I’ll grow with great importance
I don’t need your help or guidance
I’ll do this on my own
Read the rest of the poem Show less
(Dad): You’re not alone, for we’re entwined
You won’t do this! No son of mine!
Or anyone in my bloodline
Together we are sewn
(Son): At last I think I’ve found your fear
I’ll always hold your brother dear
However dad, if he were here
Ambitions, he’d rejoice
(Dad): His ambitions were his blunder
From that road left him asunder
Went from top to six feet under
You can’t make that same choice
(Son): I know you’re scared, but I have time
To find the ladders I must climb
Increase my joy of flow and rhyme
For who I want to be
(Dad): I guess you’re right son, it’s your life
I hope you have kids, with a wife
To let you go will be my strife
But later, you’ll be free
