LETTER TO FATHER

Have I known the truth
I’d have lived my life differently
Have I known things would change
I’d have not held on the memories
So much to my heart
 
Oh yes! I’ d not have labelled you as
My father
I’d not have been so proud back then
If only I’ve known... if only I’ve known
How does it feel? How do you go about each day
Laughing and doing all you do
When you have destroyed the inner peace
Of  your children
How do you do all that dear father
 
Oh dear dear father
Do you ever think of me... of us
You’re always claiming to help people
But do you ever think of your children
Your children rooming the streets
While you go about helping the people
I wonder... I wonder
 
“How kind you are Mr ” so they say to you
But what of your children
All praises come to you
But what of your children
They walk the streets with bare feet
Your children are dying of hunger
