Fatherly Instinct...first draft...

Irene is some'n else...


Tell me what you think of this. I'm not entirely sure where I want to go (or if I'm going anywhere at all). But, working for DJS and a particular occurrence at a McDonalds two months ago inspired this.

I often doubt my ability to raise children
I question how responsible could I really be
I’ve always said I was too stupid to be a good parent
One of my driving reasons not to have baby-mommas
But...
Sometimes I wonder if I sell myself short
Sometimes I wonder if I underestimate myself
Sometimes I wonder if…my fatherly instinct finally kicked in…
Oh, Jesus…
Help me, Lord…
From snatching that little boy and dropkicking him for his outright disrespect to his mother
One mother could use some talking to as well for verbally berating her daughter, causing her to think she is less than a child of God
If ever castration was a viable method of population control without crossing the lines of the 8th Amendment
Sterilization would look promising
For the deadbeat dads that refuse to pay their child support
For the abusive progenitors that mistreat their fearfully and wonderfully made little ones
For the estranged fathers that abandon their children for their selfish gain
They wouldn’t have much of a leg to stand on
Being fully aware I could be labeled a traitor
I shrug, pull up my pants
WITH A BELT ON
Lean back and use good head movement like I’m an oversized Spider
I drop my hands, I stick out my chin, and I DARE someone to hit me
Come with the best insults
Sucker punch me with diatribes
Cripple me with criticisms
Release the inner South Park and Rochambeau me if so inclined
Would that alleviate the insecurities?
Would it be doing manhood a great service?
Would it prove anything other than the savage response to cannibalize other men that do not follow what is conventional?
