Attention Small Boy
~
Running, so as not to be caught
the small boy slides into the garden
where his large family keeps a house
in the village.
~
Behind books candles and matches
a secret hides in the den
where his father sits
rewarding his children scholars
for their great minds.
~
The poor father continues, not knowing
the consequences his singular
vision will have
when his children haven’t been
allowed to tell him the truth
for so long.
~
He is a father living by rich
tradition of obedience for
family integrity. The expectations
he carries are handed
along to his children
as heavy diplomas.
