Daddy had told Billy, “All humans are equal.”
Yesterday when Daddy was having a quarrel with the neighbor
Billy was writing a sentence over and over again
That Daddy gave to him, a handwriting exercise
“We all love each other.”
Tomorrow Billy will ask, “Why did you yell at him, Daddy?”
And Daddy will look at him, look at him and keep looking
For he will need time to search
An excuse to excuse him from his actions
Just like countless times before
And Billy will get an answer; a mumbled something
He will try to remember it hard,
The same mumbled something
He is going to need it when his son asks
