UNASSUMING MUSINGS ON A FATHER’S DAY

Unsung hero oft unheralded in every memory,
Sole breadwinner in many a home, even away,
Toiling hard zestfully, manfully sans rewards,
Fathers’ day, a salutation to him with regards.

Belonging to the same fraternity, yours truly,
Never the ideal to brag or immortalize, really,
Topic debated vociferously everywhere in zeal
Paternal or maternal who is pivotal and vital.

Housing an embryo in virgin womb and again
Black or white, male or female, sane or insane,     
Maternity is divine, par excellence, none doubts,
Sacrifice, indeed, nonpareil, well beyond words.

Selfless nine months and really thereafter for years,
Sleep on curfew, with more and more nightmares,
Cheering them, rearing them, a peerless servitude,
An epitome of patience, an epitaph of motherhood.
 
Yet paternity never ever the disliked bandwagon
Sharing or sparing the vital chromosomal genomes,
Indeed the pride of the house, more often than not
Birth of a child multiplies his fortunes untying the knot

Opinions may divide or differ, kindly excuse for sure,
Paternity thereafter regaining greater composure,
Likes and dislikes often contrasted and compared,
Virtues and vices indeed dissected and discussed.

Wiser things and worldliness often father’s reign
Portrayed oft as tough, in an affection less terrain,
Kind and considerate ever the mother’s domain  
Quotes sometimes may misguide us to refrain.

Father of the nation, this cliché does not hail mother,
Mother wit, mother earth, and tongue also mother,
In disgust we quip, as mother of all evils, is that true,
Titles bemuse me and confusing, How about you
