For years without an end...
Men have run away
from being active fathers
They have left women pregnant

Left them to single parent
Went on with their lives
Because they were not ready
to be fathers

It is sad to say this
but it has become normal
For WOMEN to accept
that A MAN IS NOT READY TO BE A FATHER

It has become OKAY
&by the Grace of God
later HE BECOMES READY
&by the very same grace
later HE STILL IS NOT READY

...HE STILL PANICKS
BUT HE PANICKS AWAY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP

Sometimes he PANICKS TOWARDS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY...

I say it is ok
Only because
these single mothers
have found blessings
in raising children
After men have PANICKED

These mothers
have learnt
a different kind of Grace
that they may never have known...

...Had they not embraced
the gift of the mystery
that was in their womb

It is OKAY...
Only because there was life

Lives were spared
A reBIRTH of aMOTHER
A lineage of motherHOOD
And a birth of a child
Even...
After men have PANICKED

When men say they PANICKED...
I wonder
If they think a WOMAN
DOES NOT PANICK...
When she REALISES she is pregnant

MEN PANICK OVER
THE IDEA OF BEING A FATHER
MEN PANICK BECAUSE
THEY ARE NOT READY
TO BEING A FATHER

MEN TRULY PANICK

MEN DO NOT PANICK OVER SEX THOUGH
AND THE IDEA OF ITS POSSIBLE RESULTS

ANYWAY apparently again
A man PANICKED
A man who was ready to have SEX
A man who was not ready to be a father
PANICKED

You die being black.
You die being a woman.
