Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Trouble comes from their voice and countenance
appear at the wrong time like bad neighbours
after child welfare, the next is distance
please son, cooperate and let’s gain their favours.
Who can be better in loving my child?
I’m the consultant to those who pamper
love is a tree but a branch can go wild
so let me be, to be just and proper.
At me, they smile to take my seed away
Without my little, I’ll seize to exist
“we’ll not compromise”, the enforcers say
it feels lonely to be in this axis
by the code of parenting, we abide
one of them finally gets on my side.
