An Open Letter To My Son





Tariq,  they are building  more  prisons and making them larger than ever  to facilitate you

And they are getting help from those who enslaved, raped  and murdered our fore parents too

Tariq will you listen to me?  Shun evil companions and make straight pathways for your  feet

Train your thoughts to be heavenly bound and your speech -  therapy for everyone you meet



Tariq, it is my duty to train you up in the way you should go as God has asked me to do

I will never grow weary of this life-long task as I  know God is guiding me through

Tariq, if after my warning to you is relayed in this most sophisticated and public way

You still go ahead and divert from  path then for your errors you will have to pay


And paying for your errors in a system like this could cost you more than your life

It could mean you will never  father  descendants nor know the joys of having a wife

 So please son hold your mama close, so close 'til you feel the beat of my heart

Don't be afraid if they call you Mama's boy, for truth be told no one can tear us apart
