OK.
1. I like the poem but am too tired to comment further, not that that's necessary
2. I think (unless you honestly would never have done it yourself) your father is being both greedy and pretentious. Fuck. SOMEONE may as well be getting money, so I don't mind if my taxes pay for you to laze around, write and do way too much church-related music (I'm cynical, oh yes, oh yes) BUT if you are ETHICALLY opposed to it THEN IS IT REALLY WORTH COMPROMISING YOUR STANDARDS FOR A FEW 100 DOLLARS A WEEK?
yes we're all hypocrits, oh yes, but you have to stand for something, don't you.
is it you, or your father who wants the money?
i'm being opinionated (bad second-half of the day), but coming from a single-parent family who lived in fucking poverty for most of my childhood as my mum tried to juggle raising three kids with law school and never got more than a student allowance and a scholarship or two. i suppose it would make more sense to me if you weren't living at home. just, whatever *gives up* like I said, I don't mind my tax paying for you (then again, how many times have i loudly proclaimed that i would fully support my tax going to FUNDING UNIVERSITIES ENTIRELY so we could kill student debt??!?! "Fuck Roads, Fund Education" oh yes, they'd love that)
anyway, I bet your father thinks I'm a terrible influence, and I'm sure you'll do whatever you'll do but hey have fun learning how to be on the dole, you must report back on it in a satirical fashion!
*angsts in corner to herself* *headdesk*
(i'm sorry if this was offensive.)
