Dan, My Main Man(1) Poem by Chan Mongol

Dan, MY MAIN MAN

July 4,2014


You are a little boy and you are my main man

You are the sweet, little, smart Dan.

I wish I can hold your hands and walk around

I wish I be there till you grow big, bright and sound.

When your babysitter locked you up in the bathroom

The babysitter also hit you up with her broom.

When you were screaming Ma! Ma! The outcry

Everything was cruel and cold from earth to the sky.

Nobody wanted you to do a full time responsibility

You were then just two years old without love and pity.

I never knew before a neglected human baby

But it was you who suffered in that life clearly!

Once, you said you didn't have a father in a lawyer's chamber

That made me a bomb crashed victim in my interior.

I am unfortunate and staying away too far

But your pains used to tear me up without repair.

Once, you slept in my arms, Oh Dan Mashnoon

With big confidence in a dusty afternoon.

Once, you cried and insisted to see those stadium lights.

But I was not allowed to go that far to those sights.

I couldn't hug you deep what is due from me

But I always wanted to be your main man and someone to be.

I wanted to feed you and give you words to live like a man

Blessings for someone like you who comes again and again!

You are a little boy and you are my main man

You are the sweet, little, smart boy, Dan.

I wish I can hold your hands and walk around

I wish, I be there till you grow big, bright and sound.
