he's been running
running away all of his life
he's run from his parental responsibilities
he's been running for many years
he's a father of neglect
his children he did reject
he left them at a young age
he showed not an iota of care
he was so self absorbed
in running elsewhere
he's run a marathon
all around the globe
covering his tracks
should he be found out
he's used deception
cunning and guile
to avoid his children's smiles
his primary concern has been for himself
he's so in love with himself
he's had two families of children
and their mothers
had to fill the role
of both parents
while he was chasing
another piece of skirt
to satisfy his wanderlust
he's not a man
he's a mouse
he's run
well away from his fatherly duties
he'll die alone
and he'll be easily forgotten
as men like him
are very very rotten
he deserted his children
abandoned them
he had no love
in his hollow heart for them
