A Fathers Eyes



A fathers eyes were as light as the brightest skies

But all he could see were his own lies

From those bright baby blue eyes

For a father to look at a daughter through creepy lustful eyes

For a daughter to be a conquest

A father as such could not be from nothing righteous

Why must his eyes deceive such outrageous lies

As she cries through her own pretty blue eyes

That reflect so much of her fathers eyes

She resents seeing his reflection in her eyes

All she wants to see is his eyes cry

For all the creepy lies

His eyes hide

How can she hide from those lies

When the mirror holds those same exact pretty blue eyes

She can break those chains

To the names within her veins

To which the bright baby blue eyes Klan Claim

To change those names could change the game

If her own eyes produced a new reflection that were not the same as his name

If her own eyes could reflect into all the colors under the sky

Her sons eyes would never project to his daughters thighs

Her daughters would never know the rejection like the reflection of a fathers eyes

Who told the lies of chains untied
