so is it fear or respect?

yeh its just.... i needed to write it en 4give the writing mistakes and whatsoever

so hear we are again!

fighting, whats it about?

the fact that i won't go to

the church you want me to go to 

earning me a few kicks, beatings and a spit in the face

 

and what was the other previous fight about?

yeh because i was too tired to talk to you after my trip

that you paid for because i was too tired from the rounds of

field work and presentation we had done  during the trip, with days

 starting at 8:00 till 6:00, with sleepless nights because i missed home,

 and because of that you felt the arge to beat me up?

teach me the way i got behave, but tell me what wrong did i do?

 

so after that round of beatings and kickings, you think i have learnt

the lesson you wanted me to learn, which is,... respect your elders

when am still sniffing back the tears, but tell me...

have i learnt to respect you or fear you?

would you be pleased to come home and i zip up my mouth?

 

and after days of no talking and ducking around the corner when you are coming my way,

you will ask whats up with me, and what will i say...

dad am trying to respect you as you taught me to...

so tell me, what kind of relationship is that?

 

so parents, elders and all those with responsibility

of bringing up young people,

dont hustle them, talk things through.. because,

violence is no solution to anything and....

respect is earned so don't ask for it!
