Poem of the day: “Absent Father”
Absent Father
God the eternal scold
withdrawn judgmental
not the touchy-feely type
No wonder we’re so
lousy in relationships
denied parental approval
The times we needed
you offering stilted prayers
on sore bended knees
While you sulked in the
Aether using the ol’ guilt trip
to try and get your way
