A Boy did some thinking the other night
and A Boy realized that A Boy might
be an ungrateful little shit
and the cause of A Boy's parents split
you see
everything was fine in A Boy's parent's life,
until the day Mother found out she was carrying A Boy.
Mother and Father were deeply in love,
Father didn't use a condom one night,
he's a little dumb
Wait, maybe that's a little harsh.
Mother approached Father and gave him an ultimatum:
Marry, and raise the little runt inside,
Or split, never to be heard from again.
Father thought "Umm,
I'm a good man, a decent man,
I'll marry you hon"
Father is a little dumb.
Fast forward 22 years,
A Boy is a bum mooching off A Boy's parents
Mother supresses her pain with countless beers,
Father is on the other side of the planet,
Nothing new for him, He's always been distant.
Mother starts to get her shit straight,
Starts to get counseling and puts the pieces together.
Realizes her relationship with father could be better.
She wants to split from the man she thought she loved.
The two of them were obligated to be together.
See, A Boy is the inadvertent cause of A Boy's mother's pain
the reason she drinks herself into a coma each night
But she grins and bears it,
Says A Boy is the light of her life,
That A Boy could do no wrong in her eyes.
Really? or could It be that A Boy cant top the wrong
A Boy caused her 22 years ago?
who knows?
What if father weren't the upstanding person he was?
what if father split at the first sign of trouble?
mother would have been inconvenienced for a few months
pushed a boy out.
raised a boy on her own
which is what she's done the whole time
or put a boy up for auction.. err adoption
and forgot about a boy,
to turn around and meet the man of her dreams,
Live happily ever after,
not having to settle,
for the man
who is currently overseas
What of a boy?
if A boy were to be found in a dumpster,
or put up for auction... err adoption,
What family would have taken pity on a boy?
if any?
If a boy were raised by the state,
in some third rate home for kids in the same place
maybe a boy would be a more independent person,
introduced to society's ills earlier in life,
a boy would be more prepared for the realities
of the sick, sad little world
