MY RESPONSIBILITY

Am now getting older
Soon they will be addressing me like an elder
And I will be expected to be like others
Just because am about to have sons and daughters
More further, I will be a father

Now I know what it takes to be a father
Many bills and responsibilities to take
More curse and pains to bear
For how long will this even last,
When the rope is too tight on my neck

Is these why they are called fathers?
Could these be the reason for their position?
How could I know when am busy demanding
Seeing meat without asking for the source
Oh my domestic father!

Am even a fool to have troubled him
Now he is gone with the cross on me
See how vulnerable I have become
Now I know he covered my nakedness
Can't wait to see your calls again

Being a man is truly not a day job
Not with the family on a cog
Nor with their loads on the cab
Tell me you have a father
And I will tell you how much I missed mine

A fairly tales of a man long gone
The memory I'll harbour for life
The pain that will go down with me
The responsibility that awaits me
The joy of every household
