Sup! I just wanted to invite you to check out my spoken word entitled Kangaroo! It's a piece about "boys" that think they're a man but aren't due to the fact that they feel like it's ok to bring a life into the world then not give a care about it until after it's 18 (child support *cough cough*) and then see how they can benefit from the relationship. I don't like "boys" like that. It takes a special kind of low to look into the eyes of a child, or baby, or teen that is crying out for their father, and you not care, you know? Too often we are selfish and just think about what makes us happy, however, we don't think about the fact that most of our happiness comes at a price for someone else. Example: I treat myself to getting my nails done at the salon, someone has to wake up, drive to work, and do them for me. This poem address how sperm donors (aka dead beat dads) do this, too. the result of this action could lead to many things: our men ending up in prison due to the lack of fatherly guidance, pregnant mothers out of wedlock as early as 12 years old because they looked for the love of daddy in another guy she called "daddy", a repetition of history of them doing the same to their children because they think it's ok. But what will happen for sure is heartbreak, a lifelong journey of it, as well as a destroyed relationship, that won't ever be what a normal father and child relationship should be. Hey guys, listen IT IS NOT OK FOR YOU TO MAKE A CHILD AND ABANDON IT! What if God did that to us? Do you know how f*cked you would be? Think about it. We all were his children, but the only child of his that was perfectly good, Jesus, died because he wanted us, his imperfect children to be saved from our own sins. What if God was just like, well, I have better things to do, I'll just wipe them out and do me? You wouldn't be able to screw the women, and buy the Jordan's that are made for less than $10 that you spend top dollar for, because we would ALL be wallowing in hell! So yeah, this is dedicated to all the guys out there who had no problem getting laid, then left the woman and the child to be on their own. Happy father's day to you. Ok rant over. But if you enjoy the video, please show it some love by sharing this post, or the vid itself on the social media sites!
Much love,
