Spoilt by father



Seeds sown
Class clown
Pleasing others
Self respect
Doesn't matter

Laughing stock
Everyone flocks
Buffoon of the class
All others laugh

Teacher leads
From the front
Joined by the priests
In making fun

Call the parent
Tell him his son
Is a juvenile delinquent
Threaten him detension

Father static
Son called lunatic
Muted reaction
Forced into submission

Like wild fire
Spread teachers ire
No more a secret
For life never forget

Sense of guilt
Deeply built
Awareness present
Reaction absent

Let down the father
By the behavior
Forced to be a loner
To self a stranger

Already a disaster
Life out of order
Spoilt by father
A new moniker

Unaware of the pressure
Doing it out of pleasure
Bullying akin to torture
Personality blown by behavior

Nowhere to turn
Soul deeply burn
No answer from father
Problem persisted longer

Spoilt by father
Erratic behavior
Another cross to carry
Add another worry

Told by many
Friends and family
A lesson to be taught
Many which father forgot

Untrue interpretation
Clueless of situation
Non stop perpetuation
Based on wrong conclusion

Up until today
Not been a day
When not reminded
That I was not reprimanded

Ignoring an option
Compared to reaction
Unable to continue
Time to implement
Jeet Kune Do
The philosophy founded
By Bruce Lee
Who was the epitome
Of Anti Bully
