YOU AIN'T SHIT

His tears moved my heart. He's still my baby in so many ways. My baby in a man's body. His tears brought him no relief. His tears set into motion those who love him.

How do you bring a child into this world and then marginalize him?
How do you not wish to see all the great things he has learned in this world?
How do you not pass on knowledge to him?
How do you not want to prepare him for a world that YOU know is still bitter he is not a slave?

To all the men who chose not to be fathers in the physical sense, I say this...

YOU AIN'T SHIT!!!

I don't care how much you don't like his mother, how she works your nerves, how she is petty and money hungry. I don't give a damn about any of that.

How can a man let 7 full days go by and not reach out to his seed?
How do you let those days turn into months and months into years?
How do you have more children and speak to them each and everyday but your other child wonders "where's daddy?"

So you write a check each month, some do some don't, well good for you. Does that ease the ache in your child's heart, money ain't a thing bitch.

You can not call yourself a man if you fail to love your own little man.

YOU AIN'T SHIT!!!

How do you let time go by and not find a way to hold that child in your arms?
Would you go days weeks months years without holding your OTHER children?

I don't care how many more you have if you're not properly loving them ALL you are not a man you are not a father.

YOU AIN'T SHIT!!!

When bad finally comes to you, and know that it will, know that you are getting everything you earned, but ultimately your CHILD paid the most.

Pick up a fucking phone, it ain't about writing that check. He needs you on so many levels or are you too wrapped up in YOUR life to see?
