Life like poems…

Chapter IX: Burning anger growing deep…

And whether or not I make the grade,
I may love you…
And you may be my father…
But dear God almighty
I can't stand you!

I can't stand you!
Always tryin' to be right
But always doin' wrong.

I can't stand you!
Sayin' you're tellin' the truth
Even though we can see your nose growin' long.

I can't stand you!
Your prideful attitude
And that smirk on your face.

I can't stand you!
I wish God himself
Would put you back in your place.

I can't stand you!
Thinkin' just 'cause you're a man
Everybody gonna succumb to your every need.

I can't stand you!
The way you look
When you make our family bleed.

I can't stand you!
The way you're more focused on me bein' a man
I can't stand you!

Then whether or not I make the grade,
I may love you…
And you may be my father…
But dear God almighty
I can't stand you!
