About The Parent Problem

If it were not for parents where

After all would we have to be,

For, if you haven’t your forbear,

You’re without any ancestry,

And being that you couldn’t come

From nowhere it is fair to say:

You had your parents to come from;

There couldn’t be another way.

If Pharaoh made himself a name

For coming from a river, Nile

Which is to say, he made a claim

He came out like a crocodile,

Whatever Pharaoh may have said,

Nobody now believes it’s true,

As God does what He does instead,

By letting Nature carry through.

Some folks reject their parentage,

(Mythologies are full of that)

While that it seems in every age

People reject where “it” is at,

But as for me, I’m proud to know

My parents being next to none

Would use all their get-up-and go

In getting God’s creation done.

Then, let’s get over calling out

The male or female half of all

Of marriage, that Life is about,

Whatever you decide to call

The problem: it is we are born

Of woman, sired by a man;

So parents cannot be forsworn

As we all do the best we can.
