To My Father -Anthony's Garden
Father I wouldn't
Say you failed
In every way
But if I remember right
We never were that tight
In any way
When you held out your
Hand for peace and then
You hit me in the face
Father I wouldn't say
You failed in every way
Father I've got
My own imperfections
But I won't accept your brand
Father I am no chump
And I'm not all thumbs
And you are not my friend
Father I wouldn't say
You screwed up everything
But if I remember right
You disregard a child
To raise your self-esteem
And so if I were you
And I would have to look into
Those ruthless eyes tomorrow
I would be so ashamed
And take all the blame
Father I wouldn't say
You failed
