a boys lament...

you're just a boy
but you have to become the man
you've had no direction
just the love of your gran
you understand not
the reasons why
your father is everything
in your dreams and your sigh
but you've never met
so how do you know
what it is that
makes your ideals grow
then out of the blue
he's on your stoop
your vision a reality
so whats the scoop
he's down on his luck
and has two mates
but he's everything to you
and opened the gates
your life has direction
or so you may think
until you realise
he is just a fink
only really there
to find his stash
taking advantage of you
as easy as flash
so hope is redeemed
and put on the shelf
where all your concerns
about your self
wander aimlessly
amidst your desire
to be a part of
your fathers admire.............
