A poem I had to write for literature class. The assignment was to write a song about whatever topic you choose.

“If He Knew”

Single parent, but he’s doing fine

With a teenage girl and a teenage guy

They live a good life just the three of them

He’s a little outspoken but then again

Supporting them is what he does best

He cheers, supports, and fixes the mess

But his opinions might need to take a small rest

The words that were already spoken to them

xx

He’s whishing his little angel

His teenage baby girl

Would someday grow up to be so pretty

And hopefully change the world

And his son, the hockey star

Elected captain for his team

Would get all the girls, and make him proud

But this family isn’t what it seems

xx

(Chorus:)

What would he do if he knew,

That his darling’s best friend was a Jew?

What would he do if he saw,

His little girl playing all the sports, prepared to take the fall?

What would he do if he imagined,

That his son wasn’t a follower of his legend?

What would he do if he thought,

That his son might like a couple boys he’s fought?

What would you do if you knew?

xx

They hide it in secret from him

Not wanting to let him down

To crush his hopes, and all of his dreams

So they let it happen without a sound

xx

Chorus Repeat

xx

His sexist jokes bug them more than a little

And the gay lectures have lost their meaning

In the sea of nameless prejudice feelings

Lost their meaning, they go through life without feeling

xx

Chorus Repeat

xx

What would he do if he knew,

He was losing his baby girl?

What would he do if he knew,

His hockey star was gone?

What would you do if you knew?

A/n.

Hmm, so what do you think? Review please )
