Anyone can make a baby,

but it takes a man to raise one

the courts do not agree,

they treat fathers as if they are

villains,

lock them up like they are

Many fathers want a relationship

with their children,

and their mothers keep

up the nonsense,

hurting the father at the

children expense.

I know there are many deadbeats

love making babies,

and finding the joy

of leaving them behind.

The heartless decision

of the men

refusing the sight of

living and seeing

their babies bring the world

a loving delight.

I wish I could see,

the hearts of the men

That cowardly abandon

their children

It is so hard being a

father,

but extra hard for those

men

that fail to comprehend

leaving children without compassion

and positive direction,

will impact them

destructively, and

bring more years to them

that they will not
