    Father Can I Hear You...

    Father can i hear you?
    Father can I hear you speak?
    Father can I hear you laugh?
    Why you was never there for me?
    Why you never showed me the path?
    All I hear is silence.
    Is this why my life's feeled with violence?
    All this gang-bangin on the street.
    Left momz with bills to meet.
    Why I never had a father to keep?
    I hated you for the longest time.
    Had to put you to the back of my mind.
    Had to stop frontin, needed to stop being blind.
    Cause I Know you will never be there.
    I know you would never see me shed a tear.
    Was I not that important to you?
    Did you ever care?
    I'm not the only child you did this to,
    But five.
    Did you even bother to say good-bye?
    My anger grew bigger.
    I was ready to go to jail.
    ready to pull the trigger.
    ready to hit you with a bottle of liquor.
    Then I stopped asking.
    cause everytime I asked
    nobody was talking.
    Everytime I asked
    I always felt pain.
    These queston's unanswered
    almost made me insane.
    Father can I hear you?

    Son, I'm sorry for the intrude but remember no matter my faults, you still get to choose, whether you a straight up guy or whether you a shoot em up dude. Yes no matter what lie I tell to justify my acts, it still is no reason of yours to take the gun, sniff, sale, crack, I know I did you wrong, your brothers,sisters, momz too, believe this son if nothing else, someone's looking out for you Don't spin your wheels looking at what I did or what man I am It's all going to come back on me, like the thunder of two rams Reach way inside way deep down low, grab the good you can Soon you will learn, about the glow, that makes you a better man. I guess I like your poem.

    I can relate to this poem, not for what it says, but for the feelings it creates. I think everyone asks themselves this same question at one point. Very clear, in thought and in feeling. Nice work.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
