to the mums who cared for us when we did not have her in mind at all
to the mums who blew with all their might the food on our spoons to prove its cool enough to eat
to the mums in the 'yo momma' jokes we insulted
to the mums under pressure when we were in the lock up
to the mums who had to face 'I HATE YOU' from us
to the mums who wiped our asses after shitting and have to bear with the smell on their hands
to the mums who tried cooking again and again and again and again
to the mums who fought with teachers and principals

to the mums who smiled beautifully at their creations
to the mums who stayed up late waiting for the mr-clubbing-is-my-life
to the mums who folded our underwear in such adequate neatness
to the mums who sobbed like sobers at night because of us as though she lost her boyfriend
to the mums that said 'THAT'S MY KID, RIGHT THERE!'
to the mums your friends found hot and had a crush on
to the mums who weren't yours
to the mums who never wanted to be
to the mums on the hospital bed fighting whatever with all her might
to the mums who were dads
to the mums who scare the living shit out of you
to the mums who played football and rugby and beared their pain while tending to ours.
to the mums who rubbed their bellies while having us
to the mums who saw us go first
to the mums we men cried for before dying in war
to the mums that cheered for us in our football matches and fashion cat-walks
to the mums who stood by us down the isle, waiting for us to be given to another resposibility
to the mums we heard them say 'you're beautiful' and meant it
to the mums who hugged
to the mums who kissed
to the mums who loved as God told her to,


Happy Mother's Day ♥
