The Right

Im pissed off and angry
what gives u the right
to lay down make a child
and leave a woman to fight
for 30 years she did it by herself
fed us, clothed us, kept us in perfect health
for 30 plus years she worked long hard days
working hard for people that barely wanted to pay
but she was a soldier tho she never would complain
she did what she had to do, sucked it up…
and charged it to the game
I never saw her cry as a child but I know she did
what about the times she wondered how to feed her kids
she never let it show we never knew it was hard
Hell, I never knew till I got the single mother card
Again I ask who the fuck are u to take away her life
just because she was strong enough to carry the weight
didn’t mean by herself
she should pay
Im pissed off and Im angry because she fought all of her life
now she is worn and tired..
and all we wanna do is make it alright
I talked to my brother he said sis i gotta make her proud
she worked so hard and gave so much
we gotta come thru for her now..
Im pissed off and Im mad cause he shouldnt have those thoughts
at 16 he should be focused on school
not the struggles that were fought
Im proud that he understands cause I know he will be a better man
But the lesson should have been taught by example not by the struggles of my mothers hands
Or maybe Im mad and pissed off because in himI see my son
and in my mother I see myself and what is to come
Again I ask what gives you the right
to give and then take a life
with no intention whatsoever of even doing right..I want a fucking answer tonight
then to have your nerve to do it again
to another woman giving her a predictable end
and live your life as if your right..i need some damn answers tonight
Im angry and Im pissed because she never was mad
in all the years i never heard her say one thing bad..
she never spoke down on men she didn’t have a bitter heart
she accepted life as it came..and played the best part
Im angry and Im mad..cause we had to learn on our own
the things that dads are supposed to teach even if they aren’t in the home
we gave ourselves the game spotting out the real from the fakes
to hell with the birds and the bees..we needed to know about the snakes
I WAS so angry and so mad..until I saw the blessing
watching her fight was the greatest lesson
we learned to stand tall..let nothing make u fall
accept what it is for what it is..and with your head up handle your biz
u may cry sometimes but don’t stay there long..lift your head, dry your eyes, and carry on
don’t hold grudges people make mistakes..just make sure u keep them in their proper place
but the greatest example was simple..make the best of what u have
don’t get caught up in the things from your past
you can’t change it..and don’t be bitter..starting today make a change
it won’t be easy..expect the sun but also a whole lot of rain
and never ever ever let the next see your pain
so my siblings and I will lace up our boots
and fight this good old fight
we will make changes get our paper up
and take care of our mother right
but again I have to ask..who are u to give and take a life..my heart just will not rest..I need answers tonight…
