hey back for awhile. Not one of my best. Let me know what you think.

Sinner's Lullaby:

Hush little baby
You think you deserve
To voice your opinions?
You think you matter?

Well you don't
Because in this place
I play God and I say
You don't matter

You have no opinions
You have no good dreams
And I will rule your life
Until you turn 18

You will do as I say
If you say no you will pay
And I will say when
All of this ends

Because I am your father
Because you do as I say
Or else this might
Be your last day

NOT laughing at you... but being a father and having raised a son, and having had some similar conversations with him as to what was and was not allowed..
I see times have not changed at all, which is to me at least amusing..

It is tough..for you and for a parent. Parents tend to worry a lot...about things you may not even thnk of, and often they are motivated to take a stern approach out fo their own fear that something happen to you.... it isn't easy to find compromise or to even feel like you are heard I'm sure.

I would say..the motive for most such "rules" are well intended and fueled by the care and love the parent has...

your poem... is a nice read.. and you capture well as I remember some of the feelings expressed to me by my son as well as some of the things I may have said to him, so I enjoyed!

good luck... and don't be too hard on your folks... they are human too.

Wow. I'm sad if this is true and impressed if you simply felt your way through this. It portrays and insensitive and closed mind from an archaic and very bent family tradition. I always thought a father should be especially sensitive, understanding, nurturing and supportive of his children... but then again, the sky on my planet is neon green.
