Life seems to have a way of evenin' out, be that as it may, some things are avoidable. Children are not supposed to hold their own so young. It's so unnatural. That's daddy's spot. Somehow he got it wrong. When a father's love is merciless and barbaric, it's kinda hard to act natural toward your children. Even his mother wonders what went wrong. It's so hard to understand a father being satisfied with casual contact with his children. Some are even worse, they sever ties until the children don't need nothin'. In either case he's supposed to be more than a name on their birth certificate. He's supposed to bring them to their knees (teach them to pray), but not this way. What a diabolical arrow aimed heavenward and debilitating hindrance to the family unit. And daddy's mother? She is having a devil of a time, her son's smiling face is hard to love these days. Here is the rest of the story.

There are no excuses for having a father and not having a true father figure. A father is more than being around. A father is a daddy. A daddy see's about his own. A daddy offers more than a handout. But not in these days. He should be ashamed and speechless. But he ain't. I know of such a man. He has blown three quarters of his life and continues to struggle with the surpluses of life. And his sons are enslaved to the identical ruins. Their situation is much more critical, for they are sibling rivals.

Brother dealer indiscriminately receives brother addict as just another customer. Not what society had in mind when we are encouraged to 'make our mark'. But, nevertheless he will tell you "it's bizznezz." What suffocating love. All the wrappings of a loveless relationship. Where did this learned behavior originate? Couldn't have been those visits where dear ol' dad hung out? Could it? Let me guess. Logic and observation suggests, it could've been. Why I say that? Daddy's body language: He's too uncomfortable. How then? Those occasional get-togethers, you know kicking it. What careless handling of such precious relationships.

Get this, he is critical of the oldest boy, because he didn't learn the game. He is supposed to "know better than get hooked on that stuff." He was taught not to make 'this' mistake. But he shouldn't have ever been introduced to this lifestyle to begin with. Is this not
