Daddy’s Home

This why daddy drinks,
beats his wife and breaks his things.
He hates himself as much as you.
So what’s a guy like him to do.
He’s not brave enough for therapy
and he takes it on you and me.
Goes to work every day
And prays his son isn’t gay
Sends him to camp with the other boys
And throws out all his girly toys
Inflicts his version of identity
Generational toxic masculinity

But what’s a guy like him to do
drink with Nazis and blame the jews
race a fist for global genocide
while condemning regicide
He’s half to blame but so are we
Expecting him to act differently
But what’s a guy like him to think
when it’s time for another drink.
