I see you strong soldier

The world is on your back.

As you grow older

Dad, do you know you never ever lacked?

Moms stories of you

Deadbeat, Good for nothing, Coward, weak.

Gems the world says has to be true,

I saw you work for us loosing hours of sleep.

I watch you daily,

Going to work in a world that looks at you sideways.

You put in hours for bare minimum, no maybes

In a place where the white man moves in prescribed ways.

Dad please stop choosing to be blind.

I know the struggles, they don’t treat you right.

We need your protection, Dad, you built mankind.

We are right behind you if you chose to fight.

Move the white man mentaility to the side,

You are needed and we love you.

Our spirit is here for the ride.

You divine, God like, and that’s why the hates times two.

I want you to know, you are important and

Breaking your spirit was part of the plan.

No golden child is weak nor dormant.

They undermine our mental, steal our IP, and then “lend a hand”.

Well, that mentality is over,

Bent Dad, you never broken.

Know you are my hero.

You built our home.

You are the foundation.

Show me strength, inherit king of all nations

All Gods words have been spoken.
