Trust Your Father? Poem by Jessica Lynn Sumahit

people tell me..
your dad is the only man you can trust..
but no one tells me what happens
when you can't even trust your own father...
what happens when all else fails..
and the only man for you to trust..
is the ones deemed untrustworthy...
when the ones that turn to you....
when you need help.. they turn from you...
when the promises from people not to hurt you..
have every intention to crush you..
when those bowing in respect..
stand to disturb you and your life's tracks and traces...
when the world looks on you for cooperation and
inspiration to move on with the future...
stares down on you for failure to understand the remedial
and ridiculous 'rules' in-forced by raciest and
discriminating law enforcers'....
and its bad when the one man you look up to..
with hope courage trust and
unconditional love turns on you..
stabs you in the back...
then leaves..
with out looking back
